Autonomous Flight

Autonomous Flight is a British company set at the pioneering edge of the Urban Air Mobility revolution. The firm, founded by entrepreneur Martin Warner, is distinctively positioned in the market as a manufacturer of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Their current flagship project, the Y6S Plus, is a world-class luxury six-seater aircraft poised to dramatically change city travel. The aircraft boasts a carbon fibre composite construction, zero flight emissions and six independent rotors that deliver triple redundancy flight control, negating the requirement of a runway.

The company's mission is to transform urban transportation by the use of their innovative eVTOL aircrafts, offering hugely reduced travel times such as London Heathrow to Battersea Heliport in 12 minutes and Lower Manhattan to JFK in just 8 minutes. Autonomous Flight has been at the forefront of this technology, previously developing the Y6S 2-seater aircraft and now pushing the envelope with the Y6S Plus. Cruise speed is a robust 125mph with an operating range of 80 miles. Financial estimates from Morgan Stanley place the eVTOL market at a staggering $1.5 trillion by 2040, positioning Autonomous Flight centrally in an industry set to change countless lives.

Autonomous Flight is not just a company, it's a vision of a future where transportation hurdles are artistically brought down using Intelligent engineering. Being the first British company to create the Y6S 2-seater aircraft and its subsequent development of the Y6S Plus, demonstrates its relentless innovation and commitment towards cleaner and faster travel solutions. It's direct contribution to the estimated worth of the eVTOL market not only dictates its commitment towards creating a more connected world, but also showcases its potential in adding substantial value to the changing landscape of global mobility.
