About
About AR6
AR6 is a heavy-lift autonomous aircraft family combining vertical take-off and landing with wing-supported cruise. The platform is being developed to transport payloads of up to 200 kilograms over distances reaching approximately 500 kilometres. Modular cargo and mission spaces support logistics, medical supply, offshore support and government applications.
TEKEVER is integrating autonomous flight, navigation, communications and fleet supervision across the programme. The aircraft can operate from sites without runways and is intended to reduce the infrastructure required for regional cargo movement. Production is planned at TEKEVER’s Swindon facility, with initial manufacturing activity targeted by the end of 2026.
