Bionica Aircraft

About Bionica Aircraft

Bionica Aircraft is an aviation start-up based in Linz that focuses on the development of aircraft for General Aviation. At the centre is the patented Exordium M1, a configurable Smart-Aircraft with eight seats for multi-purpose applications: emergency cargo transport, air ambulance services, search and rescue missions (SAR), passenger transport, and operation as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). According to the company, the platform is characterised by low operating and acquisition costs as well as safety systems such as Anti-Spin, parachute, Terrain Avoidance system, Box Wing, collision avoidance and intelligent control. The amphibious concept allows operations from land and water without ground infrastructure. The team consists of engineers and scientists from Europe and Asia. No public information is available on industrial manufacturing or available manufacturing processes.
