THE HOPFLYT FAMILY OF AIRCRAFT
We’ve applied our patented technology and scalable design principles to create a multi-role Family of Aircraft, with applications in every corner of the emerging Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) landscape.
From hybrid electric unmanned aircraft, to passenger aircraft for Urban and Regional Air Mobility (UAM/RAM), our versitle product line will help usher in a new revolution in aviation.
VENTURI
Regional VTOL Solution
Venturi is HopFlyt’s flagship passenger aircraft. Configurable with up to 6 seats, Venturi will provide comfortable and quiet flights up to 200mi with a Vertical Takeoff and Landing.
We anticipate the first flight of the optionally manned Venturi prototype test aircraft in 2028.
Venturi Mission: Urban + Regional Air Mobility
Venturi is designed to provide passengers with mobility options to destinations within a 200mi radius.
The aircraft will have the ability to operate from a variety of locations, from urban vertiports, to one of the 5000+ regional airports within the US.
The utility of Venturi lies in its versatility:
The VTOL capability allows the aircraft can operate out of dense urban environments, with the efficiency and range to bring passengers to regional airports.
How far is 200mi?
The Venturi is designed to serve routes up to 200mi with a Vertical Takeoff and Landing. This will allow travel between vertiports in major metropolitan areas, regional airports, and rural locations.
New York City to Washington DC is exactly 200mi
Domestic Airline: ~80min
High Speed Rail: ~170min
Venturi, at average speed of 130kts (150mph), will take ~90min
Regional Transportation is the Future
Across the United States there are over 5,000 under-utilized regional airports. Many of these airports are operating far below capacity and are available for public use.
The majority of Americans in both urban and rural areas live in close proximity to a regional airport. This creates massive opportunity to make air travel more accessible for more people.
Regional airports are large and well suited for electrification via renewable energy. This means minimal infrastructure upgrades are required to support eVTOL operations.
SQUALL
High-Performance, Fully Electric, Unmanned VTOL Platform
Coming 2025
Using our patented Channel Wing Propulsion System and fully electric power system, Squall is a high-performance unmanned VTOL with an excellent payload-to-weight ratio in the <55lb weight class.
With a 40lb max takeoff weight and 10ft wingspan, Squall can deliver up to 8lbs of cargo 50mi.
Squall completed it’s first flight in May 2024, and will be ready for orders in Q2 2025.
CYCLONE
Long-Endurance, Hybrid-Electric, Unmanned Platform for Heavy Cargo and Loitering Missions
Coming 2026
Cyclone is a long-endurance unmanned aircraft that uses a hybrid-electric powerplant, allowing it to recharge its batteries in flight.
Cyclone is designed to achieve flight times of 6hrs+ and travel over 500mi with a 60lb payload. This will bring significant utility and mission options to government and defense customers.
Using lessons learned during Squall development, Cyclone has completed advanced stages of design and will be ready for product demonstration in late 2026.
