Mayman Aerospace, a portfolio company of UAE EDGE Group/SDF has announced the commencement of flight testing for the full pre-production model of the RAZOR P100, the groundbreaking base model for a family of dual-use, multi-function Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) aircraft. This milestone marks a significant leap forward in autonomous aerospace technology.
Designed to transport a payload of 100 pounds up to 240 miles, the AI-guided RAZOR P100 is poised to transform both military and civilian operations. The aircraft’s potential use cases include contested cargo delivery, target drone operations, cruise missile capabilities, missile range extension, disaster recovery, offshore energy servicing, long-line sea rescue, medical transport, and more. The RAZOR P100’s range, payload, and speed make it an unparalleled asset for defence, commercial industry, and civilian/government market sectors.
Mayman Aerospace is currently operating under an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) contract with the U.S. Department of Defence, further demonstrating the strategic importance of this innovative platform.
Founder and CEO David Mayman expressed his excitement about the RAZOR P100: “The RAZOR P100 is a transformative aerospace technology driven by intelligent AI/ML, resilient comms and navigation that will give battlefield commanders, industry leaders, and civilian officials unprecedented flexibility to use low-cost, ultra-fast, highly compact, and fully autonomous Air Utility Vehicles in ways never before imagined or possible. We are excited to open this entirely new frontier of autonomous AI-driven VTOL aerospace.”
The RAZOR P100’s specifications underscore its revolutionary capabilities. Achieving speeds of up to Mach 0.75, the aircraft requires a takeoff and landing footprint of just 10×10 feet and measures a compact 77 inches from nose to tail. It can be launched in minutes by a two-person crew without the need for specialized equipment or prepared surfaces. Additionally, its plug-and-play modular design ensures quick and easy field maintenance, further enhancing its operational efficiency.
The successful initiation of flight testing represents a pivotal step toward full production and deployment. With the RAZOR P100, Mayman Aerospace is paving the way for an entirely new category of versatile autonomous VTOL solutions, setting the stage for a future where flexible, fast, and cost-effective air mobility is accessible to all.
