The Future of Vertical Flight

Republic Aviation is developing scalable, autonomous Advanced Air Mobility aircraft for mass-transportation, logistics and defense.

Modular by Design

Republic Aviation's scalable transmission allows our Heavy Lift ThunderExpress airframes to carry up to 30,000lbs of cargo 500 miles, while our more nimble ThunderDrone chassis tackles more nuanced missions. Interchangeable components can be added or removed to adapt each airframe to the mission.

Safety in Numbers

Built for the future, our on-board, advanced AI services keep our airframes connected. From swarm-sensing to multispectral comms, our airframes are built to navigate congested and contested airspaces, safely.

Cross-Discipline, Multi-Domain Capabilities

Detachable Mission Modules diversify airframe capabilities. Pivot between commercial and defense operations depending on the situation.
