Company overview

Founded in 2021, BonV Aero develops electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to improve aerial mobility, especially for logistics operations. The startup’s drones can carry payloads of up to 35 kg, fly at altitudes of up to 13,800 feet, and have a range of around 5 km. These aircraft are designed to operate autonomously, removing the need for a certified co-pilot. BonV Aero’s eVTOLs are also being used by the Indian Army for logistics support in high-altitude regions. In addition, the company offers modular pods that can be attached to its aircraft for different purposes, such as transporting supplies, carrying ammunition, or evacuating injured personnel.
