Pyka

Pyka’s goal is to provide society with a new form of safe, clean, and cost-effective transportation enabled by autonomous electric aviation. 

To get there, we’re taking a different approach than most. We're applying our technologies to every industry where autonomous electric aircraft can be useful, starting with the highest value and most dangerous jobs. In doing so, we're building game-changing products manufactured at scale, while perfecting the safety, reliability, and capabilities of our autonomy engine and electric propulsion systems. 

We design, develop and manufacture an ecosystem of technologies including proprietary flight control software, avionics, high power density motors, motor controllers, batteries, and custom carbon-fiber composite airframes.

Today, we supply autonomous electric aircraft for cargo transport and crop protection to real-world customers across four separate continents and have secured industry-first regulatory approvals from the FAA. 

Our cargo aircraft enables remote connectivity, enhances express delivery networks, and ensures fast and reliable shipping of critical supplies to areas in need. Our crop protection aircraft offers agricultural services providers and farmers an autonomous tool to make aerial application safer, more precise, and less harmful to surrounding environments. Both vehicles are highly economical to operate, easy to deploy, and significantly reduce C02 emissions in their respective industries.  

What we work on at Pyka makes people’s lives better now and brings the future of electric aviation one step closer each day.

We've just announced the first delivery in a fleet of three Pelican Cargo to AFWERX, the innovation arm of the United States Department of the Air Force and a directorate within the Air Force Research Laboratory, for the Agility Prime program.

According to Lt Col John Tekell, Agility Prime Branch Chief, “The AFWERX Agility Prime program looks forward to learning about the deployment and operational capabilities of electric aircraft through this contract."

With a payload of 400 lbs, a range of 200 miles, and built for remote off-airport operations, Pelican Cargo offers an ideal solution for large-scale, all-electric contested logistics. 

We look forward to seeing the Department of Air Force harness the benefits of this technology!
