Haast Designs

At Haast Autonomous, every part of our aircraft is engineered specifically for critical life-saving missions. Our aircraft are not retrofitted consumer models — they are purpose-built unmanned systems designed for direct, hospital-to-hospital transport of organs and sensitive medical supplies.

Each aircraft uses a hybrid propulsion system combining gas and electric power, giving it long-range endurance, faster speeds, and vital redundancy for emergency scenarios. Our aircraft take off vertically like a helicopter but cruise forward like an airplane at speeds up to 120 mph, allowing for efficient point-to-point delivery without the need for runways or hubs. With a range of up to 800 miles and a payload capacity of 20 pounds, Haast aircraft are optimized to meet the urgent needs of transplant transportation.

The payload bay is designed to regulate temperature, pressure, and vibration, ensuring that every organ arrives in optimal condition. We use an adaptable compartment system that is fully compatible with all standard hypothermic organ transport containers already used by hospitals and surgeons today, allowing for seamless integration without requiring new medical equipment.

Finally, safety is at the core of our design philosophy. Each aircraft features redundant avionics, backup power systems, multiple telemetry pathways (including SATLINK, C-band, and 5G communication), GPS failovers, and a parachute-based emergency recovery system. These layered safety measures ensure that even in the rare event of a failure, both the organ and the aircraft have multiple layers of protection.

In short, Haast aircraft are engineered from the ground up for one mission: to deliver life-saving cargo as quickly, safely, and reliably as possible — and to finally bring medical transportation into the 21st century.
