About the Company
- Skyways designs, builds, and operates fully autonomous long-range cargo aircraft.
- Founded in 2017, the company has spent the last eight years developing and deploying autonomous logistics systems for real-world operations.
- Our V2 aircraft carries 30 lbs up to 500 miles, while our next-generation V3 carries 100 lbs over 1,000+ miles with 20+ hours of endurance.
- Both use a hybrid-electric architecture that takes off like a helicopter and cruises like a plane, enabling long-range autonomous delivery without traditional runway infrastructure.
- Today, Skyways aircraft operate across three continents in controlled national airspace under FAA oversight and in support of U.S. military operations.
- We are transitioning from prototype development to full-rate production and scaling toward large autonomous cargo fleets.
- Backed by Y Combinator and a $37M AFWERX STRATFI award from the U.S. Air Force, Skyways is creating a new form of transportation to advance our civilization.
