To make aviation more accessible, Cligent Aerospace is developing next-generation STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) hybrid-electric aircraft designed to fly from the nearest possible spaces, short runways, helipads, grounds and regional airstrips that exist across the world but remain underutilized. By combining advanced aerodynamics with hybrid propulsion, the company aims to connect more places, move cargo efficiently, and enable a new era of regional & coastal air mobility.
Mission
To build a global aircraft company from India and shape the future of accessible flight.
