Key Takeaways:
MightyFly unveiled its 2024 Cento, an autonomous eVTOL cargo aircraft designed for same-day delivery, capable of carrying 100 pounds over 600 miles at 150 mph.
A key feature is its Autonomous Load Mastering System (ALMS), enabling automated loading, unloading, and balancing of diverse cargo, which minimizes the need for ground support.
MightyFly has received FAA approval for a test air corridor in California, with flight testing expected to begin soon, and plans public autonomous cargo delivery demonstrations in Michigan this fall.
Supply chains don’t run themselves. At least, not yet.
