The cargo variant is capable of taking off and landing vertically with a 250kg payload, with AIR saying that the all-electric AIR ONE Cargo offers a practical long range on a single charge at speeds comparable to the manned passenger variant of AIR ONE.
In the last year, AIR secured multiple deals to use the AIR ONE for cargo purposes, with orders set to be fulfilled throughout the rest of this year and into next year.
AIR says the cargo variant helps develop its products and design concepts, contributing flight hours towards safety verification and achieving scaled production volume.
Rani Plaut, CEO and co-founder of AIR, says, “Venturing into this new market with AIR ONE Cargo is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the integration of eVTOLs into all spheres of daily life, for a variety of use cases.
“We expanded our offerings in response to strong market demand, and the feedback we've already received affirms that AIR ONE's robust capabilities and simple, cost-effective design make it an extremely agile platform, uniquely able to scale across different uses.”
