MOSTAVIO
Mostavio is a Canadian aerospace technology company specializing in the design, development, and vertical integration of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft systems. Headquartered in Toronto, Mostavio’s mission is to advance the future of electric aviation through innovative aircraft architectures, advanced propulsion and energy systems, and progressively autonomous flight technologies.
The company is structured around a vertically integrated development model, enabling in-house control over key technical domains including aircraft configuration and systems engineering, electric propulsion, advanced battery systems, composite and lightweight fabrication, avionics integration, and autonomous flight software. This end-to-end capability allows Mostavio to rapidly iterate designs, validate performance at the prototype level, and adapt platforms across multiple aviation markets.
Mostavio’s technology roadmap supports a diverse portfolio of aircraft applications, including:
— Ultralight and recreational eVTOL aircraft
— Emergency response and public safety platforms
— Two to three-passenger electric aircraft for future mobility concepts
This multi-market adaptability is enabled by a modular design philosophy, where propulsion, energy storage, control systems, and structural architectures can be tailored to different mission profiles without redefining the core aircraft platform.
Mostavio has received international recognition for its aircraft innovation and industrial design, including the Red Dot Design Award and the MUSE Design Award. These awards were granted for a flying eVTOL prototype capable of carrying a single passenger with a 100 kg payload called MX1, demonstrating both functional flight capability and design excellence. This recognition underscores the company’s ability to translate advanced engineering into real, flight-ready systems rather than conceptual designs alone.
Mostavio also operates SkyTech, its dedicated drone and unmanned systems division. SkyTech focuses on small and medium unmanned aerial platforms, custom drone integrations, and application-specific solutions across industrial, public safety, and research use cases. The division includes a Transport Canada–registered flight training program, delivering basic, advanced, and complex operations training, and serves as a testbed for autonomy, sensor integration, and operational concepts that inform Mostavio’s larger aircraft programs.
Through participation in competitive aerospace programs, collaboration with academic and research institutions, and a disciplined engineering-driven approach, Mostavio positions itself as a long-term contributor to Canada’s advanced air mobility and electric aviation ecosystem. The company’s vision extends beyond a single aircraft or market segment, focusing instead on building scalable, certifiable, and mission-ready electric aircraft platforms that will define the next generation of vertical flight.

Jaunt Air Mobility Canada
Jaunt is the global leader in slowed rotor compound (SRC) technology. Our patented technology slows the rotor once aloft (the rotor tip speed equaling the aircraft’s pace) thereby reducing drag and associated vibration. In combination with a small wing sized for cruise, this produces a lift to drag ratio equivalent to a fixed wing airplane providing an exceptionally efficient flight with very low noise. Noise that is practically imperceptible in flight. In the unlikely event of a total loss of propulsion, the aircraft can perform a safe, controlled landing by autorotating or gliding. Our hybrid-electric cargo drone and eVTOL programs are tracing the path for the AAM community.
