Elroy Air Achieves New Milestone with Its Chaparral Aircraft: Autonomous Flight Exceeds 35 mph and 130 Feet of Altitude
June 13 2025
Elroy Air, a pioneer in autonomous air cargo systems, has announced a new breakthrough in the development of its Chaparral aircraft, reaching speeds of over 35 miles per hour and altitudes exceeding 130 feet during a recent autonomous flight.
In this latest test, Chaparral demonstrated a seamless transition between vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) mode and forward flight, marking an important step toward full fixed-wing operation. This technical progress reinforces Chaparral’s potential as a key solution for autonomous aerial logistics for cargo delivery missions in remote or hard-to-reach regions.
Since its inception, Elroy Air has worked to redefine the aerial supply chain, with a platform that combines autonomy, substantial payload capacity, and operational versatility.
“We are getting closer to achieving the full transition to winged flight. These types of advancements bring us closer to the goal of transforming air logistics transportation globally,” the Elroy Air team shared on its official channels.
With this achievement, Elroy Air consolidates its position as one of the most promising players at the intersection of cargo drones, eVTOLs, and advanced automation.
