eVTOL

Kelekona, founded in New York City, is revolutionizing mass transit with its innovative electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The company focuses on creating a new class of eVTOL designed to carry 40 passengers or 10,000 lbs of cargo, making it ideal for both civilian and military applications. Kelekona's aircraft are engineered to minimize turnaround time when flying hub to hub, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational costs. The aircraft's vertical takeoff and landing capabilities require a small footprint, making it versatile for various environments, including urban settings and remote locations.

Kelekona serves a diverse range of clients, including commercial airlines, logistics companies, and military organizations. The company operates in the advanced air mobility market, which is rapidly growing due to increasing demand for efficient and sustainable transportation solutions. Kelekona's business model involves the sale and leasing of its eVTOL aircraft, as well as providing maintenance and support services. Revenue is generated through direct sales, leasing agreements, and long-term service contracts.

The Kelekona aircraft features swappable batteries, which further reduce downtime and increase operational efficiency. Advanced sensors, including stereo cameras and radar, provide 100 miles of environmental awareness for detection and avoidance of unknown aircraft, bird strikes, weather anomalies, and uncharted physical infrastructure. This ensures a high level of safety and reliability for all operations.
