Founded by British entrepreneur Martin Warner, Autonomous Flight designs and manufactures electric VTOL aircrafts, with the goal of solving worldwide transportation challenges so you can travel like never before. As you might imagine–particularly when it comes to the world of small group transportation in an electric, Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) vehicle, the entire experience is about maximizing speed and efficiency. In the case of the Autonomous Flight Y6S Plus Six Seat Electric VTOL Aircraft, it’s about getting six passengers from debarkation point to the nearest large airport as soon as possible–without sacrificing the creature comforts they’ve come to expect on the private jets they’re about to board. In this case, that means 125mph cruise speed with an 80 mile operating range thanks to the carbon fiber construction, fully-electric power and six independent rotors. In practice, that means the Autonomous Flight Y6S Plus Six Seat Electric VTOL Aircraft can do London Heathrow to Battersea Heliport in just over 10 minutes, or Lower Manhattan to JFK in just under 10 minutes. This is the future of short hop air transportation–especially since it doesn’t require a runway.
