Inflatable drones can withstand collisions, while PteroDynamics’ X-P4 Transwing can be tailored for mission objectives like faster or slower nominal cruise speeds and greater payload weight. It boasts a unique vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft design capable of folding its wings uniquely during flight to transition between configurations optimized for vertical and horizontal propulsion.
There are some other key advantages over other vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft for certain missions including a smaller operating ground footprint as well as greater wind resistance in its takeoff and landing configuration. The company’s X-P4 prototype measures 6.6-feet long and has a 13.1-foot wingspan, powered by two propellers in forward flight and another pair in the back for vertical landing.

The superior capabilities of our Transwing aircraft platform for certain missions offers significant defense and commercial applicability. Our goal is clear: we want to be the established leader in VTOL aircraft for long-range and long-endurance missions in both the defense and commercial sectors. This investment will accelerate our ability to execute on that goal,” said Matthew Graczyk, CEO and Board Director of PteroDynamics.
