[ Confidential — Stealth ]Fixed-Wing · Autonomous · Bidirectional

Pick up and deliver — in flight.

Intercept Aerospace builds fixed-wing drones that pick up and deliver packages mid-air — no landing, no pads, no ground crew. The first truly bidirectional drone logistics platform, engineered to be profitable from day one at $3,500 per unit.

01 · The Industry

A $3B detour through the wrong physics.

● Multirotor / Status Quo

Quadcopters fight gravity with constant thrust.

Loud, short-range, drop-only, and $35K–$350K per unit. Every hover-second burns the unit economics. Every delivery requires a fresh launch — there is no return cargo path.

The industry has spent $3B+proving the same lesson: multirotor physics don't reach commercial viability at scale. No operator has cracked unit economics in last-mile.

● Fixed-Wing / Intercept

Wings glide. Engines cruise. Hooks catch.

Aerodynamic lift delivers 10× energy efficiency and 5× more daily cycles per airframe versus a quadcopter doing the same route.

The in-flight intercept mechanism handles pickup and delivery without stopping — closing the loop on return logistics, a capability no competitor offers.

02 · The Mechanism

A single motion that closes the loop.

Phase 01 · Cruise
01
Fixed-wing carrier flies a sector route at 22 m/s, sipping power in level flight.
Phase 02 · Approach
02
Vehicle descends to intercept altitude over the rendezvous geofence — no hover, no stall.
Phase 03 · Intercept
03
Bidirectional hook engages a tethered package on a ground-mounted catcher arm. Pickup or drop, same motion.
Phase 04 · Depart
04
Airframe climbs back to cruise and continues to the next node — return cargo already aboard.

We are not taking meetings — yet.

We are quiet by design. A short list of operators, capital partners, and aerospace engineers will receive the technical brief before public flight tests. Leave a signal and we will reach out.
