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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1614590907270-EA96ZM46KCZ8YMEMEA4P/uamnews.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1609843483636-QUIESHYFEFUDYRE3ZU7L/newatlast1.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1609843575238-71H7NS09UFNHAPMVK0CS/springwise1.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1609843682861-GNDULVWD9P3AF16VKK6V/transportup1.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1609843767939-WGSGRAF87NLYXVX47NAC/inceptivemind1.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1594192604275-TW3EW7OFHOOS4OM2AXL5/cropped-26584_av_today_logo_2015_300.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1596629241391-1WWL2QNEPUK2GQPK3WOE/evtol.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1594192604888-3C7O7CDDEHC4RVZYXW8V/TheSpaceShow400px_0.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1594192945085-Z9A8ZJ02U4LZCWEDOPWM/aviationweek.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1593437964179-8Q9JFMN9AKTETDXI2HJI/Grey%2BCargo%2BBank.jpg Home https://metrohop.aero/contact daily 0.75 2020-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1593437916378-VWIEFI9JUZYBGBL3HVWY/Grey+Cargo+Bank.jpg Contact https://metrohop.aero/metro-hop-in-action daily 0.75 2020-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1593437916378-VWIEFI9JUZYBGBL3HVWY/Grey+Cargo+Bank.jpg Metro Hop in action https://metrohop.aero/video daily 0.75 2019-01-31 https://metrohop.aero/metro-hop-cargo daily 0.75 2020-11-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1595597437919-9T17YY7BS4ZUK45FU4FB/Grey+Cargo+Up%26Away.jpg Metro Hop Cargo - Metro Hop Cargo Metro Hop changes the way we think about logistics. Just as the internet has radically shrunk the distance between people and ideas, Metro Hop shrinks the distance between people and products. Metro Hop revolutionizes delivery service as we know it. Metro Hop’s unique, all-electric short takeoff and landing aircraft enables valuable ToDay™ and One Hour Hop™ service for parcel and package transportation in and around greater metropolitan areas. We can offer ToDay delivery at half the price of current overnight solutions. We can also provide a service that does not exist today: One Hour Hop delivery for most any item to most any location. Yes, it’s true. Day or night, the Metro Hop aircraft can fly from outlying fulfillment and distribution centers to close-in urban airports in minutes: Our Mid-Mile™ system eliminates the need for enormously costly urban distribution and sorting centers. Four Metro Hop aircraft can move the same volume of cargo as forty trucks, and they can do it 20 times faster. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1594195157744-HW40B30XCZHS3MV6ZVMH/image-asset.jpeg Metro Hop Cargo - How do we do it? The Metro Hop cargo mid-mile delivery service is structured around a simple aircraft with a game changing, international patent pending Active Landing Gear™ system that is designed to operate in urban areas. Metro Hop’s speed (400 km/hr, 250 mph) increases productivity and offers a competitive edge. Speed allows for smaller, more optimized and efficient runs. The Metro Hop aircraft is supported by robotically loaded cargo bins and hot-swapped battery pods at dedicated MetroDocks™. These features increase the safety, efficiency, and profitability of our system. Delivery systems will continue to get shorter and shorter. Metro Hop’s fully integrated Mid-Mile system meets those expectations and will continue to do so well into the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1593437916378-VWIEFI9JUZYBGBL3HVWY/Grey+Cargo+Bank.jpg Metro Hop Cargo https://metrohop.aero/operations daily 0.75 2022-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b1adeef4611a01388b8c8c0/1608296651927-CNY8NAJ0CD9I6W8L1ZSM/DSC_0076.jpg Operations Team - SHRADDHA KALE, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT INTERN Shraddha is currently pursuing her Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from Cummins College of Engineering for Women in India.
