Our take
XWING is revolutionizing the aviation industry by providing a suite of technologies for pilotless commercial flights. The company has demonstrated its ability to achieve vertical takeoff and landing with commercial cargo aircraft and has raised tens of millions of dollars due to the potential of this system.
In an airline industry with low-profit margins, XWING offers huge potential for a variety of companies. This system not only automates the flying process, it also integrates sensors and maps with onboard flight control systems, ensuring that regional aircraft can navigate, take off and land more safely than has ever previously been possible.
The company is investing financing into working on expanding its operation, vastly increasing its engineering team, and developing a technology stack to convert various existing aircraft. The aim is to eventually run regular fully unmanned commercial cargo flights.
