Archery and Anduril launch autonomous aircraft

Archser Aviation and Anduril Industries unveiled a new autonomous VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) aircraft platform for both military and commercial use at Farnborough International Airshow 2026. The platform includes a military version called "Thunder," a fifth-generation autonomous attack aircraft designed to operate alongside manned aircraft and attack helicopters, combining features of speed, range, payload capacity, and low operational costs. The aircraft utilizes a hybrid propulsion system that merges electric power with fuel, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing noise. It can carry heavy loads and perform a variety of missions such as military transportation, support operations, and cargo delivery. The first test flight of "Thunder" is expected in 2027. Officials confirmed that the design is entirely new and not a modified version of an existing aircraft, aimed at boosting its capabilities for defense and commercial applications.
