Reliable Robotics Raises $160M Series C for Autonomous Cargo Aircraft Certification

Reliable Robotics has raised $160 million in Series C funding to advance its autonomous aircraft technology toward FAA certification and commercial cargo operations. The funding round enables the company to scale its autonomous flight systems for real-world deployment.

The company's Reliable Autonomy system is designed to enable fully autonomous flight from gate-to-gate, with continuous monitoring and remote supervision capabilities. The technology aims to transform air cargo operations by enabling 24/7 operations with higher safety standards.

Reliable Robotics has been working closely with the FAA on certification pathways for autonomous aircraft systems. The company targets commercial cargo operations beginning in 2026, with plans to expand to passenger operations in subsequent years.

The funding will support further technology development, certification efforts, and the establishment of commercial operations infrastructure. Reliable Robotics is working with major cargo operators and logistics companies to prepare for widespread autonomous flight deployment.
