The Guardian development program centers around usability and functionality requirements that are intended to deliver a highly practical air platform for a wide range of use cases; in particular medical rescue, provision of air taxi services to people dependent on wheelchairs, and bulky goods transport in urban environments.
As a scaled development program, the airframe design has been validated at multiple sizes. As of 2022, we have achieved human liftoff with a Part 103 compliant, 1/2 scale airframe (the G1) and performed extensive load testing validating the structural cabin design.
