Natilus was co-founded by Aleksey Matyushev and Anatoly Starikov in 2016 to commoditize the freight transport industry through innovative designs and advanced technology. The team is comprised of passionate engineering experts who have worked on more than 25 aircraft programs in general aviation, commercial and military aviation. The company's mission will reduce air freight costs and lower the price of food in stores, level the barriers in cross-border trade, and help connect low infrastructure areas to the rest of the world. By commoditizing the freight transport industry, Natilus will maximize the value, efficiency, and sustainability of the world's supply chain. The market for autonomous cargo aircraft is greater than $280 billion based on market research; however, Natilus believes that by lowering the cost of air cargo transport, it can introduce a new category of freight and expand the total addressable market of air freight to $470B once operations begin. Natilus aircraft use existing ground infrastructure and standard air cargo containers, as well as offer remote piloting to produce an innovative turnkey solution for its customers. The Natilus family of cargo aircraft includes: Kona - short-haul feeder UAV, Alisio - medium/long range UAV, and Nordes - long-range UAV.
