Cargo VTOL aircraft at a remote logistics pad

Aerial platforms

AeronauticsLift, Vigil, Transit, Apex

Segal Aeronautics builds Lift, Vigil, Transit, and Apex for cargo, sensing, regional travel, and the stratosphere.

Aeronautics

Aircraft programs for distinct missions.

Lift, Vigil, Transit, and Apex address cargo, sensing, regional transport, and high-altitude operations through a shared approach to aircraft development.

One architecture

Air

Common autonomy and control principles are adapted to the requirements of each aircraft program.

The problem

A freighter, a sensor, a passenger hop, and a station in the stratosphere are different aircraft. Treating them as one airframe with a new paint job is how programs fail.

What we build

Lift carries heavy cargo. Vigil keeps a sensor overhead. Transit is electric regional travel. Apex holds station in the stratosphere. Vector flies them. Hangar configures them. The ground turn is part of the aircraft.

Airframe and propulsion

System drawing

Propulsion and airframe on a Segal aircraft: energy, thrust, heat, and the loads the structure has to carry.Diagram can be panned on smaller screens.

What we need from you

Which transport, sensing, or communications requirement defines the mission?
What payload, range, endurance, and takeoff or landing conditions are required?
What operator responsibilities, airspace requirements, and contingency procedures apply?

What the work includes

A Lift, Vigil, Transit, or Apex configuration considered against payload, range, and environment.
Navigation, station-keeping, oversight, and lost-link behavior within the autonomy design.
Energy supply, ground handling, and maintenance requirements for the proposed operating model.
