problems & solutions
Air Cargo
PROBLEM - UNRELIABILITY
Just-in-time is evolving to just-in-sequence (only hours of manufacturing
components on hand)
B-to-B commerce breaks down when supply chains are disrupted
Fragile transportation networks (i.e. traffic, island chains, mountainous
regions)
AFFORDABLE UTILITY
No compromise vehicle, purpose-built for air cargo
Autonomous waypoint to waypoint transport of freight
Lowest cost option for mid-mile air delivery
Reduced congestion on surface roads
Accelerated speed of business
Humanitarian
PROBLEM - INFRASTRUCTURE
Natural and man-made disasters disrupt infrastructure (bridges, roads,
airports, and rail)
Truck deliveries affected by available routes, speed limits and weather
conditions
Communities are isolated, cut off from essential resources (power grid,
medical care, clean water)
Infrastructure is time consuming and expensive to replace
FLI REMOTE ACCESS
Remote power generation for hospitals, refugee camps, and businesses
Up to 300 kW continuous available
Ground Zero, the most desperately impacted area, can now receive rapid and
critical attention with autonomous flight delivery
The uncertainty of infrastructure goes away; no runway, no electrical power,
no problem
Firefighting
PROBLEM - WILDFIRES
Expensive specialized aircraft, with highly trained crews, leading to large
platforms for economies of scale
Manned aircraft require high risk avoidance leading to higher altitudes and
fewer flights
Spikes in asset demand occur seasonally in everchanging locations
FLI Firefighting
Thermal imaging to identify hot-spots
Unmanned terrain mapping and avoidance, allowing lower flights
Ground crew directly controls assets
Flight units can be easily transported to site, and quickly employed as needed
An automated flight path and schedule can be established, night watch becomes
more likely to catch flare ups
Air Mobility
PROBLEM - GRIDLOCK
Transportation networks are not keeping pace with demand
Loss of productivity on the rise
Increasing pollution is stressing the environment
Urbanization - by 2040 there will be 110 Megacities, 7.1 billion people who
will live in urban areas
FLI ELECTRIC ROTORCRAFT (FLIER)
Introduces the 3rd dimension to a traditionally 2D problem (flight)
Electric, five-passenger, eVTOL air vehicle that flies above the congestion
Designed to be affordable, safe, quiet, and environmentally responsible
Leaving you time for the things you love the most
Medevac
PROBLEM - LIMITED TIME
Medical emergencies often occur in isolated locations
Air medical transport is limited due to high cost and qualified personnel
The Golden Hour is that most critical hour after an injury occurs that has the
highest chance in saving a life
FLI Medevac
Autonomy means help is sent as soon as communication is received; the vehicle
maintains a perpetual state of readiness
Adverse weather, fog, smoke, and darkness have little impact on vehicle
operations
The low cost and ease of operations enables the vehicle to be forward deployed
and distributed to remote locations
