Firefly
Overview
Firefly is a hybrid heavy-lift unmanned aircraft system designed for long-endurance logistics, ISR, and industrial missions. It uses the Parallel Hybrid Electric Multirotor (PHEM) architecture to carry heavy payloads for long durations, achieving 10x longer flight times than all-electric platforms. The system is fuel-agnostic and scalable.
