middle mile,
shorter

Building fully electric aviation solutions to deliver critical cargo faster than any land-based route

Our Mission

Faster than roads. Greener than ever before.

The last mile is where all the action is. But what gets a lot less attention is the middle mile.

The middle mile is the hidden layer that makes up the bulk of how long goods take to go from manufacturer to consumer.

At Auralis, we're building electric aircraft to help providers optimize their middle mile. To get their goods to where they need to go faster than any land-based route.

Be it pharmaceutical cold chains, parts delivery or 3PL logistics, our technology enables time-critical deliveries and unlocks new possibilities in regional logistics.

We're not just making things faster than the road — we're taking out the road entirely

BWB-1, current design iteration. Preliminary early design & geometry — not a final render.

The Aircraft

Novel all electric freighter

500kg payload | 500km+ range | 2.5 m3 Internal volume | Zero emissions

Our clean-sheet design combines exceptional aerodynamic efficiency with electric propulsion to deliver unmatched performance in the middle-mile segment.

We're not just building an efficient middle mile. We're building out an entire platform, starting with the aircraft up.

The lifting centrebody carries the payload across the span rather than in a tube & wing configuration. The propulsion unit sits aft of the trailing edge, leaving the cargo volume unobstructed.
Supported Missions

Time critical transport

Pharmaceutical Distribution
Send temperature-controlled cargo between manufacturing sites and distribution centres, maintaining GDP compliance while cutting transit time by hours. Speed that saves lives.
AOG Parts Delivery
Every minute a commercial aircraft sits grounded costs thousands. Get critical replacement parts to maintenance facilities before the clock runs out.
Medical Sample Transport
Moving diagnostic samples and specialist materials between hospitals and labs where timing determines treatment outcomes.
Humanitarian Response
Rapid deployment of emergency medical supplies, equipment, and relief cargo to areas where road access is compromised or non-existent.
Express Logistics
High-value components for manufacturing lines, e-commerce fulfilment, and just-in-time supply chains where production stoppage costs far exceed premium freight rates.
Development Roadmap

From concept to certification

We're taking a methodical, risk-aware approach to bringing this aircraft to market. Each milestone builds on validated data from the previous phase.

Q3 2026
Subscale Demonstrator
Wind tunnel validation and 1:4 scale flight testing to de-risk BWB aerodynamics and control architecture.
Q2 2027
Full-Scale Prototype
Complete airframe assembly with initial propulsion integration and ground testing campaign.
Q4 2027
First Flight
Maiden flight and initial flight envelope expansion to validate stability and performance models.
Q2 2028
Operator Trials
Joint operational testing with lead customers in pharmaceutical and emergency services sectors.
Q4 2028
CAA Certification
Complete UK CAA certification process for commercial cargo operations.
Q1 2029
Commercial Service
Begin revenue operations with first commercial customers on validated UK routes.
