What is it like to experience autonomy in flight? @CNN's @petemuntean, a pilot himself, joined us for a demo flight alongside Merlin’s Test Pilot, Matt Diamond, out of our test facility at Quonset.

Riding aboard one of our Cessna Caravans, Pete saw first-hand how Merlin Pilot can fly an aircraft from takeoff to touchdown, managing navigation, air traffic control communications, and weather.

Our aircraft agnostic, AI-powered system is being designed to work alongside human pilots, proven through hundreds of test flights logged. Read CNN’s full piece.

Merlin gave @CNN's @petemuntean, a pilot himself, a front-row seat to autonomous flight.

Pete recently joined Matt Diamond, Test Pilot at Merlin, for a demo flight from our Quonset test facility. He was able to see how Merlin Pilot is being built to manage systems, monitor the environment, and handle communications from takeoff to touchdown, allowing flight crews to focus where human judgment matters most.

Watch the full segment here to learn how the Merlin Pilot system powers a growing range of aircraft and mission profiles, proven through hundreds of autonomous flights from test facilities across the globe. https://t.co/hHQwGLs13o

The future of air power lies in autonomous platforms.

At CNBC CONVERGE LIVE, Merlin CEO Matt George noted that although we’re not necessarily behind our adversaries, we don’t have the definitive lead, and it’s crucial to invest in those capabilities.

Read this recap as Matt shares how the U.S. military’s $75B budget for autonomous platforms and drones paired with adopting technology quickly can make a change. https://t.co/6xo87Tkq2t

Merlin is planning to bring its AI-powered autonomy to commercial cargo.

Today we announced Merlin Pilot for Commercial Cargo, part of Condor, our new product family that aims to bring the same autonomy core advancing through military airworthiness on the C-130J to large, multi-crew civil and military aircraft.

The opportunity is significant. Boeing projects the global cargo fleet will grow from roughly 2,340 aircraft today to nearly 3,900 over the next two decades, with more than 2,800 production and conversion deliveries forecasted. Merlin Pilot is being designed to integrate into aircraft operators already own, managing systems, monitoring the environment, and handling communications from takeoff to touchdown, so crews can focus where human judgment matters most.

The foundation is already proven with hundreds of flights logged across multiple platforms, an ongoing civil certification path, and a Preliminary Design Review successfully completed for the C-130J with @USSOCOM. We’re proud to be collaborating with World Star Aviation, a leading freighter lessor, and are developing additional relationships with key players in the commercial cargo conversion market.

The future of air cargo is autonomous. We're building it.

The Pentagon is signaling a clear and growing commitment to funding autonomous, AI-enabled unmanned systems, including its $54.6 billion FY2027 budget request for the Defense Autonomous Warfare Group (DAWG).

Autonomous air power isn't a future priority, it's an immediate one.

The future is autonomous, and Merlin is building it. https://t.co/mDgpnUz3Pu

Jensen Huang says Physical AI is the next technology wave - AI that understands physics and acts autonomously in the real world.

Merlin Pilot is already doing that. On real aircraft. On a path to regulatory certification. For paying customers.
