BluJ Aerospace unveils Gen #2 VTOL aircraft built on VANTIS platform
BluJ Aerospace has unveiled Gen #2, a commercial-grade VTOL aircraft developed on its VANTIS platform after four years of R&D. Designed for heavy-payload logistics, the aircraft strengthens the company’s ambitions in cargo, infrastructure, defence and future passenger mobility markets.
Hyderabad: BluJ Aerospace, a Hyderabad-based deep-tech aerospace company, today unveiled the Gen #2 prototype, the first aircraft developed on VANTIS, its platform-based architecture, after four years of in-house R&D.
Gen #2 is the first commercial-grade aircraft from VANTIS, purpose-built for heavy-payload logistics. It carries an active payload target of above 200 kg, operates under a 500 kg maximum take-off weight, and uses a lift plus cruise configuration.
Gen #2 sits within BluJ’s broader roadmap, which spans different VTOL variants across urban and regional transportation, with passenger mobility as the long-term destination. VANTIS is the shared technology foundation behind every aircraft BluJ builds, spanning the airframe, propulsion, controls, and autonomy systems.
Each new aircraft inherits subsystems already proven on the platform, which means every variant reaches the market faster, costs less to develop, and gets stronger with every flight hour the family accumulates.
Amar Sri Vatsavaya, Founder and CEO of BluJ Aerospace, said, “Our platform-based approach lets us develop multiple AAM product classes efficiently and at scale.”
BluJ’s commercial pipeline spans infrastructure logistics, express cargo, energy, airports, and defence. The company has already completed a successful pilot deployment with Power sector PSU for infrastructure logistics, and has active defence partnerships with a major Defence PSU and Indian defence primes.
