Aerotowing allows existing air assets to fly further, payload-adjusted, enabling new mission concepts.
Towed gliders allow air assets to carry payload beyond their MTOW without major impact to flight performance.
Aerolane’s technology means these are highly manufacturable systems; tens of thousands can be produced annually.
Aerotowed gliders complement high-value systems like the C-130 by “reaching through” contested areas.

A towed cargo glider extends the effective range of a C-130 by 60–70% — with no modifications to the aircraft itself.

Attritable cargo gliders can be disconnected mid-air from the primary asset, autonomously gliding towards a controlled landing into littoral environments or unimproved surfaces on island bases — without risking a crewed aircraft on the approach.
