The AutoFlight Shark (often called the White Shark) is a versatile, heavy-lift eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) unmanned aircraft designed for industrial payloads, coastal monitoring, and long-range inspections. It offers a payload capacity of up to 20 kg, a 6-hour flight endurance, and a 500 km range.
Multi Configuration
The Autoflight Shark has a mulit configuration payload bay.
Housing up to 3 batteries, a long range survey configuration with 1kg-5kg recording payload can reach a range of up to 500km.
With reduced battery configuration, the Shark can accomodate up to 20kg payload, but reduces the operating endurance to ~2hrs.
At typical cruise speeds, the Shark can cover 90km/h
Key Use Cases
Inspections & Surveillance: Ideal for monitoring pipelines, long-range transmission lines, and vast coastal or inland territories.
Testing & Training: Serves as a reliable platform for evaluating operational parameters before deploying heavier, multi-passenger, or cargo aircraft.
Key Features and Specs
Max Payload: 20 kg (44 lbs)
Max Endurance: 6 hours
Max Altitude: 5,000 m (16,400 ft)
Max Range: 500 km
Flight Profiles: Combines vertical takeoff and landing capabilities with high-efficiency forward cruise.

- Operational Capabilities: It is heavily utilized for infrastructure inspection (such as transmission lines and pipelines) and coastal monitoring.
Because of its long endurance and cost-effectiveness, the aircraft also serves as an excellent operational testbed and trgaining platform for fleet operators to asses viability of flgiht corridors and landing infrastructure before deploying much larger passenger or heavy-cargo eVTOLs.
