We have big news! Learn how our Series C fundraising will kick us into high gear.
Creating a powerfully practical path for autonomous flight.

our vision

01

Crawl,
Walk,
Fly,

At Merlin, everything we do is rooted in our methodical, phased philosophy of Crawl, Walk and Fly, which led us to powering the world’s first autonomous takeoff to touchdown flight in 2021. This took thousands of test flights, technological advancements, and a deeply committed team who knew it was achievable—and just the beginning.

We don’t believe in shortcuts, just steady progress, and we’ll continue to work hand-in-hand with regulators to ensure the safest solutions. Together, we’re ascending into a new reality that isn’t just possible. It’s here.

how we get there
