About

About Avy

Avy Aera takes off vertically before transitioning into fixed-wing cruise, supporting speeds around 100 kilometres per hour and missions approaching 100 kilometres on one charge. The aircraft carries up to approximately three kilograms for medical samples, medicines, emergency equipment and monitoring payloads.

Avy Dock shelters and charges the aircraft and can launch a mission within roughly 30 seconds. Remote operators supervise several stations and flights without an onsite pilot at each location, allowing hospitals, emergency services and infrastructure operators to build scheduled or on-demand beyond-visual-line-of-sight networks.
