Chaparral

An autonomous hybrid-electric (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) platform for middle-mile logistics, rapid response shipping, and military resupply.

The future of aerial cargo

The hybrid- (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) Chaparral (Unmanned Aerial System) is uniquely designed to move substantial volumes of cargo by air between flexible locations with minimal infrastructure: middle-mile commercial logistics, industrial cargo, humanitarian aid shipments, and materiel for sustainment from forward operating bases and ships (with self-deployment) to provide critical aerial lines of support.
