The Chaparral is a new autonomous hybrid-electric aircraft for delivering cargo by Elroy Air. This is the future of cargo plane deliveries.

According to Elroy Air’s co-founder Clint Cope “a hybrid between a rough-and-ready helicopter and a battle-hardened bush plane,”. With a range of 300 miles, this vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) craft can fly in two ways. It can hover using eight vertical fans and also fly forward using four swiveling propellers.

That Chaparral can autonomously pick up and drop off goods into an underslung pod that has a capacity of 300 to 500lbs (136 to 226kg).

“The Chaparral will be a vital logistics link for people around the world with unreliable roadways and in remote and rural areas that take longer to reach today,” Cope said

Due to secured agreements, the company announced that it’s going to supply 500 aircraft to commercial, defense, and humanitarian customers. Agreements are valued at “more than $1 billion in aircraft demand.”

The most important of Chaparral is its ability to deliver cargo fastly through rough terrain. Therefore The Military and humanitarians are the most customers of these aircraft.

How does the autonomous cargo plane work?

“We fly in difficult terrain and difficult conditions. We don’t always have the luxury of a runway or even personnel at some locations. There simply hasn’t been a UAV with the type of capabilities that the Chaparral has in the commercial markets.”  Lyons, chief development officer at AYR Logistics said.

In addition, To make it easier for the startup to move to deploy the drone around the world, the company designed the Chaparral to fit inside a 40-foot shipping container.

We can imagine that our cargo or products will be delivered by a cargo plane and even a drone. This is happening soon.
