- Aerocart is an engineless cargo glider that flies in tow behind existing airplanes, enhancing efficiency and capacity.
- It operates with 65% less operating costs per cargo pound moved compared to conventional planes, primarily due to fuel savings.
- Aerocart can double or triple a plane's payload capacity by utilizing the towed flight concept, limited only by takeoff/landing weight.
- The technology is a 'drop-in' upgrade, compatible with existing aircraft fleets without requiring modifications.
- Aerolane has conducted extensive flight tests, proving the economic and operational benefits of Aerocarts.
- Patented autopilot technology enables Aerocarts to navigate wake vortices safely during takeoff, flight, and landing.
- Inspired by WWII cargo gliders, Aerolane modernizes the concept for contemporary aviation needs.
