The Utility concept is a modular, multi-purpose aerial vehicle based on a “wing and boom” configuration, capable of carrying 10 passengers or one ton of cargo. It features a simple structure with two booms and electric motors integrated into the detachable wings. The wings connect to different modules, allowing STOL (Short Take-off and Landing) operations in a variety of contexts, from private transport to rescue missions, with low maintenance costs and high operational flexibility. The wing with autonomous flight capability and structural monitoring systems add efficiency and reduce costs throughout the life cycle.

Integrated into the NewFACE project, Utility was developed with a holistic approach that simultaneously considered human, technological, social, and economic factors. The team created and tested physical and virtual models, refining concepts applicable to exterior design, interiors, materials, technologies, and manufacturing processes. Three reference proposals emerged from this process—V-Tail, Boxwing, and Utility—which offer an integrated vision for future directions in aviation, supporting the development of more versatile, sustainable aircraft aligned with the operational needs of the future.
