ALTI Unmanned, a leader in unmanned aerial systems, is proud to announce its move to a fully electric fleet, beginning with the launch of the Transition e-VTOL UAS.
The Transition, ALTI’s first fully electric vertical takeoff and landing (e-VTOL) aircraft, is engineered for military, security, and conservation missions. Its all-electric design drastically reduces emissions while slashing operating and maintenance costs. With over 3 hours of flight endurance, fully equipped with payload, the Transition is designed to outperform its class and deliver reliable mission success.
Our decision to go fully electric stems from the need to meet our clients’ evolving demands. We’ve focused on delivering an aircraft that’s as close to 100% reliable as possible—safe, cost-effective, and virtually undetectable. Our clients, whether in surveillance, reconnaissance, or conservation, require an aircraft that’s not only efficient but also silent and stealthy. While going all-electric, we continue to lead the way with best-in-class endurance, achieving over 3 hours of flight time, fully equipped with payload.
Moving into an all-electric future allows us to ensure that we continue to meet these needs while offering the most advanced, dependable solutions available.
Duran De Villiers, Founder & Director of ALTI Unmanned
