AirTruck is Japan’s first mass-produced logistics drone with 5 kg payload, LTE BVLOS control, 4D GRAVITY stability, and top-loading intuitive UX.

# ACSL AirTruck – Japan’s First Mass-Produced Logistics Drone

The AirTruck, developed by ACSL Ltd. in collaboration with Aeronext, is Japan’s first mass-produced drone specifically designed for last-mile logistics. With a focus on stability, usability, and real-world delivery performance, it brings industrial-grade capability to everyday aerial transport.

Key Features and Advantages

1. 4D GRAVITY Center-of-Gravity Control

Utilizing Aeronext’s proprietary 4D GRAVITY structural design, the AirTruck maintains a stable center of gravity even during forward-lean flight, reducing cargo sway and improving flight quality. The cargo compartment remains horizontal thanks to a coupled-structure mechanism, ensuring stable and reliable delivery operations.

2. Aerodynamically Optimized Design

Through aerodynamic simulations and wind tunnel testing, the AirTruck achieves enhanced flight performance, enabling faster, more efficient, and longer-distance operations tailored for logistics missions.

3. LTE-Based BVLOS Communication and Control

Equipped with LTE communications for video streaming and telemetry, the AirTruck supports beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations (Level-3), expanding operational range and flexibility.

4. Impressive Payload and Flight Performance

With a 5 kg payload capacity, the AirTruck outperforms conventional platform drones (which typically carry around 3 kg). It achieves approximately 50 minutes of flight time with a 3.5 kg payload, and about 35 minutes with a full 5 kg load. It can also cover up to 20 km in a single flight.

5. Intuitive, Top-Loading UX

Designed for ease of use, the drone features a top-loading cargo compartment, allowing for quick and intuitive payload loading and unloading—ideal for rapid logistics operations.

6. Application-Focused Design

Created to address labor shortages and challenges in last-mile delivery—especially in regions affected by aging populations and limited workforce—the AirTruck brings digital logistics solutions to real-world community needs.
