Boeing acquires Aurora Flight Sciences, dives into autonomous flying

Boeing has acquired Aurora Flight Sciences, a company specializing in autonomous flight systems and advanced aerospace platforms. This hints at a stronger priority on the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) industry as Boing wants to become a leader in autonomous-flying vehicles for both military and commercial use.

“The combined strength and innovation of our teams will advance the development of autonomy for our commercial and military systems. Together, these talented teams will open new markets with transformational technologies,” said Greg Hyslop, CTO and senior vice president of Boeing Engineering, Test & Technology.
