Company

Leading the development of advanced autonomous VTOL aircraft

Mayman Aerospace develops heavy-lift, high-speed vertical take-off and landing aircraft powered by artificial intelligence. The aircraft are built for defense and dual-use missions where infrastructure is absent and time matters.

We are based in Long Beach, California. Our engineering is vertically integrated; propulsion, airframe and autonomy are developed and tested in house.

Technology

Gimbaled turbine propulsion and onboard autonomy

Thrust vectoring through gimbaled turbines gives vertical launch and high-speed cruise in one airframe. Onboard autonomy flies the mission; the operator supervises.
