The World's First Flight-Drive
Robotic Cargo Drones
Seamlessly Integrating Air Mobility with Ground Logistics Systems
WE LEAD
A NEW AGE OF LOGISTICS.
Our flagship drone, the Grasshopper e350, is a fully automated Flying Cargo Van, and the only cargo drone globally designed specifically for Industry 4.0 applications.
By autonomously handling the first and last mile as well as all loading and charging processes, we offer a fully integrated solution that more than Doubles Delivery Speed compared to a delivery van, has a 99% Punctuality rate, produces Zero Emissions and automates the entire supply chain process for companies looking to modernize their supply chains.

Next-Generation Autonomous Systems for Efficient Logistics
At Grasshopper, our technological innovations are designed to make your supply chain more efficient, flexible, reliable and sustainable.
Fully Automated Drone Operations
From the beginning, we are thinking drone logistics end-to-end. Developing advanced Ground-Air Integration and Autonomous Cargo Handling enables unique applications in various settings. Full operations automation means cutting cost, optimizing delivery times and reducing human intervention.
Ultra-Quiet Propulsion
Our propulsion choice is based around the notion that a mass application of aerial vehicles must not negatively impact the life quality of people and nature. By utilizing small ducted fans, we are reducing the sound level to a minimum, applying the quietest propulsion choice for sustainable large-scale application.
This makes our drones ideal for urban environments where noise pollution is a growing concern.
Sustainable Power
Utilizing fully electric and hybrid-hydrogen power systems, our drones ensure sustainable, long-range transport that scales with your logistical needs. Whether it’s a short delivery or a long-haul, our energy-efficient design ensures the best operational performance.
Robotic Cargo Handling
Cargo Containers for
Industrial Goods and
Cooling-Chain Missions
Our drones feature two types of cargo containers designed for various industries and payloads.
Designed for standard pallet sizes, the containers are ideal for industries such as manufacturing, medical supply, and retail logistics.
Depending on the industry, the containers can feature a cooling capability, enabling complete cooling chain tracking and control from inside one location to handover at the destination.
Ground-Air Integration
Our drive-flight technology enables our drones to transition seamlessly between air and ground, connecting directly to your existing logistics infrastructure without manual handling.
After landing, the wings are folding inwards, reducing our physical footprint in order to fit into indoors intralogistics environments.
This unique capability automates the first and last mile, and lets us interact directly with a variety of ground infrastructure, cutting costs, increasing operational speed and improving efficiency.
Autonomous Cargo Handling
in Automated or Manual Environments
Our cargo containers key location is a dedicated handover location, where our Charging and Loading Stations (CLS) are placed.
This automated cargo system allows for seamless connection to conveyor systems for hands-free loading and unloading. This cuts delivery times and removes the need for human intervention in logistics.
Dedicated to Achieving Net Zero in Logistics & Aviation
The logistics and transport sector contributes just over a third of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
We are dedicated to using the greenest power sources available, including hydrogen propulsion, ensuring that our operations contribute to a zero-emission future. Our membership of the Alliance for Zero-Emission Aviation (AZEA) is a strong signal for the industry.
Furthermore, we are paying attention to building a green supply chain for the production of our aircraft, reducing the environmental impact of our company even further.
Our Solution:
Grasshopper Air Mobility delivers tailored solutions for diverse industries, addressing the unique logistics challenges of modern supply chains.
Whether it’s scheduled or urgent deliveries, difficult-to-access locations, or specialized cargo handling, our fully autonomous, drive-and-fly cargo drones streamline operations across sectors.
From first to last mile, our systems integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructures, eliminating inefficiencies and providing sustainable, zero-emission alternatives.

Grasshopper Air Mobility was born from a personal vision: to overcome the inefficiencies of traditional commuting in a small Austrian village.
Our founder’s experience with daily traffic and limited mobility options inspired the concept of a shared, dual-function vehicle that can drive and fly.
Although initially focused on passenger transport, the high regulatory and financial barriers led us to pivot toward cargo.
By combining our expertise in automated logistics and aeronautical engineering, we’re now building high-tech heavy-lift drones that can transition seamlessly between ground and air.
A Passionate Leadership Team
Our leadership team is composed of experts from aerospace, logistics, automative and technology, united by a commitment to innovation, high-tech and sustainability.
The team is supported by a strong industry-spanning advisory board.
