A cutaway of the battery pack: cylindrical cells racked in a vented tray, each one individually monitored

Chemistry agnostic battery pack form factor[01]

Our proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) monitors each cell independently. Faulty modules are instantly isolated without interrupting power, ensuring continuous, safe flight. As battery technology advances, the system adapts to new chemistries without altering the aircraft's structural design.

Synergistic lift propulsion[02]

The e200X has no tilting parts. Six vertical rotors lift it with four forward propellers flying it. Each set operates independently; a failure in one phase cannot reach the other. The Synergistic Lift architecture, filed in 25 jurisdictions, makes this compact enough for any existing rooftop.

A fully proprietary intelligence stack[03]

Flight control software, autonomy algorithms, and sensor fusion (radar, LiDAR, camera) written entirely in-house. Validated across millions of virtual kilometres before a single physical test flight with precision landing within centimetres and the first rotorcraft control laws developed in India.

Composites engineered in-house[04]

Every primary structural component of the e200X (including the fuselage, wings, and booms) is designed in-house and manufactured in our Class 7 clean room. Owning this core tooling and engineering IP allows us to maximize strength-to-weight performance while setting the precision standards for future high-volume manufacturing.

The smallest footprint in its class[01]

  • -At 8x11m (the smallest in its class), the e200X is designed to operate within the city as it exists today.
  • -Leverages existing infrastructure for immediate urban deployment, unlocking dormant helipads across hospital rooftops, corporate campuses, and government facilities.
  • -The e200X fits fully within currently available helipads.

All-electric Vertical liftoff[02]

  • -10 Independent Propulsion Units: 6 dedicated vertical lift rotors, 4 dedicated forward propellers.
  • -Compact Footprint 8 x 11 m: Fully vertical VTOL operations from any helipad or less than the space needed for 2 parking spots.
  • -Fail-Safe Redundancy: Vertical and forward propulsion systems are structurally and electrically isolated to guarantee fail-safe phase transitions.

7 levels of redundancy for safety[03]

  • 001Powertrain and Battery: Power is distributed across independent packs. No single failure has ever been allowed to matter.
  • 002Distributed Electric Propulsion: Ten independent motors across two rotor sets. One failing changes nothing about the flight.
  • 003Lift and Cruise Configuration: Vertical and cruise systems operate independently. A failure in takeoff cannot reach cruise. A failure in cruise cannot reach landing.
  • 004Lifting Surfaces: Complete power loss activates a glide ratio of 10. Higher than a conventional Cessna. The aircraft reaches the ground on its own terms.
  • 005Ballistic Parachute: Beyond glide range, a ballistic parachute and impact-absorbing inflatables deploy. The structure was designed to reach the ground intact.
  • 006Crash-Safe Fuselage: The fuselage withstands 16G of impact loading. No other eVTOL developer is building to this standard.
  • 007Crashworthy Seats: Four-point harness. Energy-absorbing structure. The last layer of protection is the closest one to the passenger.

Zero emissions. Zero downtime.[04]

  • -Optimized exclusively for high-density urban corridors.
  • -160 km/h cruise speed: Perfectly balanced to transition total weight onto the wings while disengaging vertical rotors post-launch.
  • -110 km range on a single charge: Enables up to three 30 km back-to-back intra-city trips with zero ground stops or mid-day charging.
