LIFT Aircraft

LIFT Aircraft is an Austin, Texas experiential aviation company founded by former Boeing engineer Matt Chasen, built around HEXA — an amphibious electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft with eighteen independent electric motors and propellers, a 432lb carbon fibre airframe, a triply redundant autopilot flown with a single three-axis joystick, an autonomous ballistic parachute, and enough redundancy to fly and land safely with up to six motors disabled. Because HEXA is compliant with the FAA's powered ultralight classification, no pilot's licence is required, and LIFT sells flight as a paid experience rather than selling aircraft — a short training session followed by a solo flight from waterfront bases in Austin and other US cities. The company has raised over $25 million from venture capital, accredited investors and US government grants, has worked with the US Air Force Agility Prime programme and the US Army, and has begun the FAA type certification process for a commercial edition. LIFT publishes no developer REST API or OpenAPI; its only machine-readable surface is a live, unauthenticated Model Context Protocol endpoint and an llms.txt served by its Wix-hosted site.

LIFT Aircraft publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Aviation, eVTOL, Electric Aircraft, and Urban Air Mobility.

LIFT Aircraft’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, support, pricing, and 5 more developer resources.

  description: The public Model Context Protocol endpoint served by LIFT Aircraft's Wix-hosted site. Exposes nine tools that
    let an agent read business details, search the site, read the installed Wix business-solution API docs, open an anonymous
    visitor session, and act on a visitor's behalf — querying site data, booking a flight session, or starting a purchase.
    No authentication is required to connect; only public site information is reachable, and checkout completes on the website.
