Elroy Air - Aircraft

Chaparral

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

The future of aerial cargo

The hybrid-eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) Chaparral UAS (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.

Hybrid-electric powertrain

Our revolutionary hybrid-electric powertrain delivers ample power for fuel-efficient, long-range flights. Flexible fueling options eliminate reliance on charging infrastructure, unlocking a world of possibilities.

Distributed electric propulsion

Eight vertical and four forward propellers create safety through redundancy, enabling easy access to challenging locations via electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL).

Middle-Mile Logistics

Expanding express logistics beyond roads and airports

Military Resupply

De-risking dangerous resupply missions in contested environments

Humanitarian Shipping

Delivering to communities with limited or damaged infrastructure

Chaparral is compatible with a range of cargo pods designed to fit your mission requirements

Onward and upward

Elroy Air is revolutionizing logistics with our autonomous long-range aircraft and adaptable cargo systems. Our goal is to provide point-to-point rapid delivery solutions independent from charging infrastructure.
