About Hauler
Hauler uses Aergility’s managed-autorotation architecture. Multiple rotors provide powered vertical take-off, then most enter controlled autorotation during forward flight while a separate propeller supplies cruise thrust, combining vertical access with wingborne efficiency.
The aircraft is designed for contested resupply, civil freight and humanitarian logistics, with targets above 500 pounds of useful payload, 500 miles of range and 120 miles per hour. Aergility is validating the underlying flight architecture through its smaller Vista prototype.
