Xwing

aid: xwing
name: Xwing
description: Xwing, Inc. is a San Francisco and Concord, California aviation company founded in 2016 that built Superpilot,
  a modular retrofit autonomy system enabling ground-supervised, uncrewed gate-to-gate flight on conventional fixed-wing aircraft.
  Flying a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan testbed, Xwing completed more than 250 fully autonomous flights and over 500 auto-landings,
  and in April 2023 became the first company to receive an FAA project designation toward certification of a large unmanned
  aircraft system. Joby Aviation acquired Xwing's autonomy division in June 2024; Xwing retained its Part 135 air cargo operation,
  and www.xwing.com is now an archived marketing site pointing visitors to Joby. Xwing never published a developer program,
  public API, SDK or machine-readable contract; the domain's only agent-readable surfaces are the llms.txt and Site MCP endpoint
  that Wix generates for every site it hosts.

x-api-posture-basis: observed
x-api-posture-note: Xwing's product was embedded aircraft autonomy software certified and integrated onto airframes, never
  offered as a developer-callable API. STEP 0b contract discovery on 2026-09-04 found no OpenAPI, GraphQL, AsyncAPI, gRPC,
  WSDL or OGC surface on any host the record knows; /developers and /api both return HTTP 404.

x-division-acquired-date: '2024-06-05'
x-division-acquired-note: Joby acquired the autonomy division only. Xwing, Inc. retained its Part 135 cargo operation, so
  this is not a defunct company — but the software business that could have produced an API surface now sits inside Joby Aviation.

x-coverage:
  state: none
  reason: no-developer-program
  detail: Xwing sold embedded aircraft autonomy (Superpilot) and a Part 135 cargo operation, never a developer product — www.xwing.com
    has no /developers or /api page (both 404), every OpenAPI/Swagger/GraphQL path returns the Wix error shell, and the site's
    only machine-readable surfaces are the llms.txt and /_api/mcp endpoint that Wix generates for every site it hosts.
