What We Do

We have been conducting research and development on VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) technology since Malloy Aeronautic’s foundation in 2013.

Expanding the same principles we used in the original Malloy Hoverbike, we created and produced a family of heavy-lift unmanned vehicles designed to solve the so-called ‘last mile’ logistics.

Given the range of sizes and payloads that can be carried onboard, our vehicles are also great assets for universities and research institutions to test special equipment.

We support our customers by doing extensive testing with them, as well as developing new vehicles and mission-specific airborne systems for the most extreme and demanding operations.
