MightyFly is the leading B2B/B2G last-mile and middle-mile delivery company with dual-use autonomous hybrid eVTOL aircraft targeting 100–500 pounds cargo capacity, across 600–1,000 miles range, with multi-stop per flight route, which provides customers with fast, low-emission and affordable deliveries.

The company’s business model is a subscription-based expedited delivery service. Given its aircraft range, payload, and autonomy, MightyFly’s unit economics are highly favorable: operating cost-per-mile is projected to be ~65% lower than current options. In parallel, MightyFly also serves government and defense customers through both aircraft sales and on-demand delivery services.

MightyFly’s timing aligns perfectly with the recently announced FAA commercial and eVTOL rules, enabling rapid expansion into the $319 billion expedited-delivery market. MightyFly has already developed three full-scale aircraft, completed over 400 autonomous flights, and obtained a Special Airworthiness Certificate covering multiple flight areas, corridors, and airports.

The company has also generated over a million dollars in revenue, signed a $230 million LOI and, most recently, a $50 million contract.

Commercial deliveries:

• Too slow due to traffic and multi-segment hub-and-spoke model
• Too costly due to low loading factor, and empty vehicle return runs at $1.70/mile
• High emissions from poor gas mileage and low vehicle utilization
• High labor dependency affected by shortage of drivers and pilots

Defense deliveries:

• Lacks resilient, infrastructure independent, relatively low cost, autonomous aircraft to meet DoD’s logistics needs

MightyFly develops and operates large, autonomous delivery aircraft designed to move cargo quickly and efficiently for businesses and governments.

Their hybrid-electric aircraft takes off and lands vertically, with target cargo capacity of 100–500 pounds, range of 600–1,000 miles and maximum speed of 150 mph, enabling deliveries much faster than traditional vans while also lowering operating costs and emissions.

They are working on launching same-day services for medical test kits, time-sensitive manufacturing shipments, inter-island deliveries, and other B2B deliveries, while expanding their DoD contracts.

Built-for-purpose:

• eVTOL: parking lot or roof top; no vertiports required
• Multi pick-up and drop-offs for high-capacity utilization
• 100-500 pound cargo capacity
• 600-1000 mile range
• 150 mph max speed
• Relatively quiet for urban deliveries

Milestones Achieved:

• US Air Force Demo
• 400+ autonomous test flights
• Autonomous loading and unloading, as shown in the US Air Force demo video
• 3 generations of aircraft developed in 3 years

• MightyFly has secured multiple FAA-approved flight areas, corridors and airports in the US
• Part 108 rules enabling Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) commercialization, published by the FAA
• Parallel track targeting public aircraft operation and DoD with no FAA Approvals required

$50 million Signed 5 Years Contract to Provide Accessible Healthcare

• Their commercial customer supplies medical test kits to businesses, which must be shipped back the same day or the next day after consumer use
• Customer’s delivery cost exceeds the cost of their tests.
• Contract value calculated using the minimum per-delivery cost multiplied by the projected number of deliveries over the 5-year contract
• Customer is an entry point to major medical retailers and hospitals, which rely heavily on expedited delivery for items like tests, blood, donor tissue, and surgical kits
• Retail health kit distribution

Qualified for $15M Air Force Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) With Successfully Completed Phase II Contract

• $1.3 million paid, completed two contracts with the US Air Force, AFWERX, AMC and Agility Prime
• Demonstrated autonomous flight and cargo handling, including autonomous nose opening and closing, package positioning and locking, aircraft weight and balance, and autonomous flight
• Unlocking 1,000 mile range, 100 pound payload, eVTOL, distributed, expedited autonomous logistics

First Public Intra City Demonstration Planned for 2026

• $150k paid POC
• Contract with Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME)
• First known commercial public demo of large autonomous cargo eVTOL in the US

$220M Signed LOI for Hawaii Inter-Island Deliveries

• Topographical limitations forces nearly 100% of expedited deliveries to be via air freight
• Minimum pricing for package deliveries in Hawaii is almost 2x that in the continental U.S.
• Customers have to deliver expedited packages to airports themselves
• LOI value based on the estimated initial Proof of Concept (POC) cost, the sale of 15 aircraft, and 20 years of expedited delivery service.

• Dual Revenue Channels: Subscription B2B/B2G services and DoD contracts
• $10M per aircraft lifetime revenue; ~$1M/year; ~1 year ROI
• Efficient market penetration driven by increased speed, decreased cost, reduced emissions, and frictionless customer integration
• AI extensions to unlock capabilities, such as route optimization and fire detection, to expand beyond the $319B market

At least 3x Faster with 65% lower opex compared to conventional logistics operators, and AI-enhanced logistics operations with exponential efficiency upside
