About Nomad 100

Nomad 100 is Sikorsky's autonomous vertical-take-off aircraft concept for logistics and other uncrewed missions. It applies Sikorsky autonomy technology to a rotorcraft designed to carry cargo without an onboard pilot.

The programme is presented as a development platform within Lockheed Martin's autonomous-aircraft work. Payload, range, schedule and production status need to be treated as programme-specific and cannot be inferred from other Sikorsky aircraft.
