AutoFlight Completes Multi-Aircraft Formation Flight and Begins Certification for V5000 Matrix

May 25, 2026
AutoFlight has completed a demonstration flight of a mixed formation consisting of one V5000 Matrix aircraft and two V2000 eVTOL units, verifying communication, route planning, and coordination capabilities while starting the airworthiness certification process.

AutoFlight announced in a press release that it has successfully completed a demonstration flight featuring a mixed formation of three aircraft. The formation included one V5000 Matrix and two eVTOL aircraft from the V2000 series.

The mission validated key operational capabilities such as communication links, route planning, flight coordination, and safety checks across five ton and two ton platforms. The test also demonstrated AutoFlight's system integration and coordinated multi aircraft operations for low altitude logistics, emergency response, maritime support, and regional air transport applications.

At the same time, AutoFlight has officially begun the airworthiness certification process for the V5000 Matrix aircraft.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
