Hili Subscale Takes Flight
We are proud to announce a major milestone in the development of our hybrid VTOL UAV, Hili. Our subscale version of Hili has successfully completed its maiden flight, marking a significant step forward in our journey to redefining advanced air mobility in the UAE and beyond.
The Hili subscale serves as a critical platform for validating our design, flight dynamics, and operational capabilities before scaling up to the full-sized aircraft. The successful first flight of the subscale validates our engineering approach and accelerates our timeline for bringing this transformative technology to market.
“This is not just a technical accomplishment – it’s a reflection of the tireless effort, innovation, and collaboration of our exceptional team. It’s a celebration of the UAE’s commitment to advancing technology and sustainability, and a testament to what we can achieve when we work together”, said Rashid Almanai, CEO of LODD.
Hili is a cornerstone of LODD’s mission to address critical logistics challenges, offering a sustainable, efficient and adaptable solution for cargo transportation in the region. As we progress toward the launch of our full-sized prototype, LODD remains focus on delivering innovative UAV solutions that meet the evolving needs of industries, governments and communities.
