Consumers are now used to expedited delivery, sometimes within the same day, and Elroy Air believes its VTOL aircraft can help shippers keep up with the rising demands of expedited shipping capabilities.
"We believe that now is the moment in history when autonomous VTOL aircraft can be developed to expand the reach of air cargo at scale — the enabling technology is ready, and regulators are on board to help," the company wrote in a blog post.
