Aviation can't scale with humans alone

01

Pilot Shortage

660,000 new pilots needed. Training can't keep pace with demand. Airlines cutting routes.

02

Human Error

Around 70% of accidents traced to human factors. Fatigue and cognitive overload persist.

03

Growing Demand

Fleet expanding 33% by 2033. The gap between pilots and aircraft widens each year.

04

Rising Costs

$100K+ to train each pilot. Labor costs accelerating. Margins compressed.

The Inflection Point

AI Maturity

Advances in AI made the needed technological achievement possible.

Computing Infrastructure

The onboard computing infrastructure allows real-time reasoning and decision-making.

Cost Efficiency

Flight automation lowers costs by improving fuel efficiency and reducing overall operating costs.

Regulations

Regulators are increasingly accommodating AI-based systems, establishing frameworks for their application.

"We believe autonomous flight will be safer than human-piloted flight.
Our mission is to prove it."
