Vertical flight is going autonomous
Rotor builds autonomy to make helicopters and other VTOLs radically safer and more accessible.

70% of helicopter accidents could be prevented with automation. We believe closing the safety gap between vertical flight and the rest of modern aviation is the fastest way to unlock the next generation of urban and regional air mobility.
R550X

Cloudpilot is Rotor's human-supervised autonomy service that is available 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world. It flies the R550X from startup to shutdown, more safely and cost-effectively than an onboard pilot.
The R550X lifts more and flies further than any other uncrewed VTOL available today.
