LIFT FLY

Skyways designs, builds, and operates long-range autonomous hybrid-VTOL aircraft and the software that flies them. Customers use the network for critical cargo, data, and resupply missions without buying an aircraft or building a runway.

Yes. Skyways has logged more than 3,000 flights since 2017 across the United States, Japan, and Germany, with 536+ flight hours and 45,000+ kilometers flown since 2024.

Skyways is based in Austin, Texas, where the team designs, builds, tests, and operates autonomous hybrid-VTOL aircraft and the software that flies them.

Flight-as-a-Service means Skyways operates the mission stack: hubs, aircraft, flight software, and operations. Customers define the mission outcome, then Skyways flies the route.

Skyways is built for the missing middle: routes too far for small electric drones and too small or remote for crewed aircraft to serve efficiently. The aircraft take off vertically, cruise like airplanes, and need no runway at either end.

Skyways is built for routes where a crewed aircraft can be too costly, too runway-dependent, or too hard to schedule repeatedly. The customer gets the mission outcome while Skyways operates the aircraft, software, and hub model.

No runway is required at either end of the route. Skyways aircraft use hybrid VTOL operations, with launch and recovery planned around approved sites, hubs, weather, payload, and airspace requirements.

Skyways is built around long-range hybrid-VTOL aircraft. Mission range depends on payload, route, weather, airspace, and operating approvals, and the platform section includes 1,300+ miles range with a 10 lb payload.

Skyways is not a consumer last-mile drone delivery company. It combines long-range autonomous aircraft, SkyNav software, hubs, and fleet operations into an air network for critical cargo and data missions.

Current and proven mission lanes include offshore energy resupply, island medical logistics, ship and base sustainment, middle-mile cargo routes, and long-range data missions with modular payloads.

Skyways scopes cargo by mission requirements, aircraft capability, route, and approvals. Public examples include medical materials, research samples, spare parts, offshore energy supplies, ship resupply, and urgent logistics payloads.

Skyways can support cargo and data missions. Data missions may use optical, infrared, LiDAR, or mission-specific sensors when the weight, power, route, and approval requirements fit the mission.

Yes. Public mission examples include offshore wind resupply in the Baltic Sea, island medical logistics in Okinawa, and maritime sustainment work with defense customers.

The network supports cargo and data missions. Cargo includes medical materials, spare parts, ship resupply, offshore energy supplies, and middle-mile freight. Data missions can include optical, infrared, LiDAR, inspection, mapping, awareness, and other mission-specific sensing payloads.

Skyways operates the aircraft, SkyNav software, hubs, maintenance, and remote operations stack. Customers bring the mission requirement, and Skyways scopes the route and operating plan.

Yes. Skyways is dual-use: defense customers use the network for sustainment and remote logistics, while commercial customers use it for energy, medical, island, maritime, and middle-mile routes.

The same aircraft, SkyNav software, hubs, and operations model can serve defense and commercial missions. That means the platform can support sustainment, remote logistics, offshore energy, medical routes, maritime operations, and distributed cargo lanes without becoming a one-market system.

Customers start by scoping the route, payload, timing, site, airspace, and operating requirement. From there, Skyways evaluates the mission fit and the hub or launch model needed to fly it.
