Hybrid Project LLC

Hybrid Project LLC is a maker of endurance VTOL autonomous aircraft. Its aircraft use standard integrated hybrid power systems. The company is based in Blountville, Tennessee.

The company focuses on endurance flight and beyond visual line of sight operations. Its aircraft fly on gasoline in forward flight. An on board charging system keeps the batteries full at the end of each flight.

The V2 airframe can fly nearly 500 kilometers on 3.8 liters of fuel in good weather. The site says this is about five times the coverage of typical electric planes.

The SuperVolo production airframe is now available for purchase. The site says it offers reliable performance and long flight endurance in many conditions.

The company designs a modular platform. Parts can change without starting over, and the airframe breaks down for transport. Mission nose modules are in development for mapping, surveillance, and delivery. A research module can use 350 watts of on board power.

Engineering and CNC manufacturing run from a machine shop in East Tennessee. Composite manufacture, final assembly, and flight testing run from North Idaho.

The founders are Ryan Pope and Shane Roberts. The contact page has a form for questions about flight capabilities, payloads, and partnerships.
