Xwing enables reliable regional cargo and mission aviation by converting piloted aircraft into certified, remotely supervised uncrewed aircraft. The company develops a modular autonomous flight system—combining targeted AI, avionics integration, and ground-supervision tools—that integrates with existing cargo airframes and partners with aircraft manufacturers and operators. Xwing positions its technology as a certifiable UAS solution for logistics, firefighting, and other commercial missions, working with regulators such as the FAA. The product is delivered as B2B aerospace software and hardware that supports operational workflows and aircraft OEM integrations. Xwing targets regional air transportation markets where autonomous operations can reduce cost and expand access to cargo and specialized aerial services.
