The DARPA Lift Challenge is a $6.5 million prize competition to design drones that can carry payloads more than four times their weight—a breakthrough that would transform military logistics, disaster relief, and commercial delivery. This summer, teams will go head-to-head in live flight trials, racing a 5-nautical-mile course while hauling over 110 pounds.
Team of five with diverse backgrounds from aerospace, chemical engineering, industry software, applied-research, AI, and the start-up space. We are applying our unique knowledge at the intersection of drone flight and rocketry to compete in the 2026 DARPA Lift Challenge.
