About the Company
Xwing is on a mission to build the world`s smartest and cleanest air mobility system. We`re transforming the way airplanes fly to make regional mobility radically safer, more efficient, accessible, and sustainable than ever. Our work begins with converting today`s leading cargo aircraft into remotely-operated airplanes so every regional route can be serviced reliably to give every person in every corner of the world improved access to all the goods and essentials they need. Beyond the cargo market, we plan to expand our technology safely to other areas of commercial aviation. Founded in 2016, Xwing is based in Northern California with offices in San Francisco and Concord, CA. Xwing was recently named Fast Company`s Top 10 Most Innovative Transportation Companies and featured on TIME Magazine`s 2021 Best Inventions List after completing the world`s first fully autonomous cargo flight and making aviation history. Backed by strategic investors, Xwing has raised over $57 million in venture funding to date, and is partnering closely with the Federal Aviation Administration to certify its advanced aircraft.
