At AutoFlight, we are determined to unlock the skies for mass individual transport in the air. To achieve this goal, we have designed a shared airborne vehicle – you can think of it as an air taxi. To fulfill and deliver this vision, we worked hard over the years and settled on a configuration and business model we believe is best suited for the above requirements. The basis of our design is a so-called “Lift and Cruise” configuration.

Every great business is driven by an idea. Something grand, earth shattering and so impossible to let go of, that it must be pursued. Ours is that the world must master business, environmental and social challenges to secure sustainable growth, instead of focusing on short-term financial interest at the cost of future generations. There is a lack of equilibrium – we must rebalance. We need a new model. An approach not solely based on measuring temporary shareholder returns, but on something deeper, more meaningful and more substantial. Why? Because we believe that progress and innovation should – and can – create lasting change. We are convinced that, in taking responsibility for the most profound challenges of our time, we have a unique opportunity to rethink the system. A new way of achieving growth and securing robust and profitable business, while safeguarding a viable future.
