Astro is leading the race to offer sustainable, cost-effective mass-market passenger and cargo drones for use in urban environments.

Astro is a publicly-traded company (OTCQB:ASDN) that develops and designs manned and unmanned autonomous-enabled Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft.

In just 36 months of operation, Astro has successfully developed a manned drone and executed multiple manned flights.

Our mission is to transform how people and things get from place to place. We do this by making safe, affordable and user-friendly autonomous manned and unmanned eVTOL aircraft available to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

We’re currently preparing version 2.0 for production. It will be sold to governments, private sector operators and individuals for a range of commercial, logistical and personal uses.

Astro’s Elroy can operate in densely urbanized environments, utilizing airspace to alleviate ground congestion and reduce two-hour commutes to 20 minutes.

People will be able to buy personal VTOL’s that fit in a garage, or take advantage of OnDemand urban air transportation services for simple, cost-effective pick up and set down. Astro is cost-effective, emission-free and fast. It offers safe, quick take off and landing. Its versatile operating platform includes point-and-click destination input.

It requires little infrastructure investment on the part of our users, and its ability to service secondary and tertiary routes greatly enhances its potential for mass-market entry.

A modular modification transforms our aircraft into a cargo transportation unit that can carry payloads of 400lbs up to 40 miles.

This has tremendous applications for

• Home delivery • Short-haul carriage • Supply drops in hard-to-reach areas • Courier services • Depot transfers

It’s a truly unique offering the likes of which the world has never seen before.

THE eVTOL INDUSTRYThe UN estimates that 70%-80% of the world’s population will be urbanized by 2050. This offers new challenges and exciting opportunities for efficient and sustainable mobility solutions.

Current projections by 2035

With fully established infrastructure eVTOL could achieve a total

addressable market of $230 billion with 200K+ operational units.

Uber Elevate is the all-encompassing term for Uber’s initiative to launch uberAIR, - the eVTOL aerial ride-hailing service, as well as any

other initiatives – such as food delivery - that may benefit from air transportation.

Dallas and Los Angeles and Paris

have been announced as the first

three launch cities to offer uberAIR

flights.

Uber’s goal is to start operating

demonstrator flights in 2020 and

beginning commercial operations in

2023. 

Astro intends to enter production with its first mass-market model in

Q4 2018.
