Our technology

01

Carbon-free aviation at scale

Cloudline uses battery and solar-powered propulsion to deliver carbon-emissions free flight operations.

Each airship saves up to four tonnes of carbon emission per day compared to helicopter operations.

Cloudline missions remain carbon free up to our target payload capacity of 100 kg (220 lbs).

02

Quieter, safer skies

Helium lifting gas ensures unrivalled safety compared to drones and rotorcrafts.

Quiet Operation minimizes invasiveness and permits broader operating areas.

High visibility means transparent and trusted operations.

03

Far-reaching applications

With a range of over 400 km, endurance of up to 12 hours, and payloads up to 100 kg, Cloudline puts every point on earth within reach.

Order-of-magnitude savings on operating costs open our services to new markets and bring autonomous aviation into the mainstream.

Vertical takeoff and landing trades fixed infrastructure for unprecedented operating flexibility.
