A2Z Longtail

The A2Z Longtail is a purpose-built commercial drone platform engineered for autonomous delivery, patrol, and remote operations at scale. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the A2Z AirDock ecosystem, the Longtail enables automated charging, mission dispatch, and continuous fleet availability without on-site personnel. Available in both Cargo and Patrol configurations, the aircraft delivers up to 21.7 mi (35 km) of range while supporting applications ranging from medical logistics and maritime delivery to infrastructure inspection, public safety, and Drone as First Responder (DFR) operations. Combined with a network of AirDocks, the Longtail creates a scalable drone infrastructure capable of expanding operational coverage far beyond the limits of a single aircraft.
