Engineering mass, speed and autonomy into one airframe
A technology company leading the development of advanced autonomous, heavy-lift, high-speed VTOL aircraft powered by artificial intelligence.
Mayman Aerospace develops jet-powered VTOL aircraft that launch vertically from a small clear area, cruise at speeds associated with fixed-wing aircraft and recover without infrastructure.
The company is based in Long Beach, California. Propulsion, flight controls, airframe and autonomy are developed together, which keeps unit cost down and cycle time short.
Our work is funded and supported by US government customers and by private investors. Programs span logistics, resupply, sensing and effects delivery in environments where crewed aircraft carry unacceptable risk.
We work with defense program offices, primes and international partners. To start a conversation, use the contact form.

Low cost by design
Attritable economics come from simple structures, commercial supply chains and heavy fuel turbines; not from exquisite hardware.
Trusted autonomy
Autonomy is tested against defined behaviours and bounded authority so operators know exactly what the aircraft will do.
No infrastructure
A 10ft x 10ft clear area is the airfield. No runways, no catapults, no complicated setup.
Built to be fielded
Every design decision is measured against sustainment in contested environments, not against a demonstration.
