AIRO Group and its subsidiary, Jaunt Air Mobility, took the wraps off a new hybrid aircraft platform at the AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2026 event, designed for flexible deployment in contested environments.
The aircraft is offered in two configurations: the JC250 for cargo and logistics missions, and the JX250 for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) roles.
Both configurations have a projected range of up to 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers), while the ISR variant is also expected to support extended-duration operations of up to 16 hours.
