It’s all about that plane.

The Metro Hop Cargo plane cruises at 400 km/hr (250 mph).

A unique, international patent pending landing gear system makes for very short, smooth takeoffs and landings in 60 meters.

The plane is designed to takeoff and land at existing airports, on small supplemental landing pads, and on dedicated MetroDocks.

Using current battery technology, the Metro Hop Cargo plane has a 200 km (125 mile) range.

Nearly silent takeoff and landing allows the Metro Hop Cargo plane to operate from the densest urban locations around the world, both day and night.

Metro Hop is available now, as it uses existing battery technology, a well-known flight envelope, and a clear path to certification.
