OUR EXCITING PATH
TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF MOBILITY

2005

PRE-HISTORY

The famous Rafols brothers created Skycam with the aim of filming aerial shots for cinema, television and advertising. They began recording their first jobs with helicopters, but they soon modernized when they discovered the benefits of drones and built their own drone to perfect their recordings. In 2016, Carlos Poveda met the Rafols brothers during a shoot and incorporated Skycam into the UMILES Group.

2016

UMILES Group

The leading company in unmanned aerial systems. The group operates six business lines providing 360º customized professional services, initially in Spain and now worldwide. Our core activities include the operation, training, development, and management of unmanned systems.

CONCEPT INTEGRITY

We keep developing our platforms with the most advanced technological innovations. Concept integrity is our new Air Taxi prototype that will be introduced at the next World ATM Congress, taking place in June 2022 and will fly in different European initiatives during this year.

2022

INTEGRITY

The Integrity enters the design phase. A short to medium-range eVTOL featuring FlyFree technology built up from the proven UMILES Next Concept aircrafts and sized for a smaller initial market, focused mainly in executive and tourism markets.

2022

GROUND MOBILITY

A new and exciting challenge in Urban Mobility with the expansion of our activity to include GROUND solutions, in addition to AIR Mobility, the origin of our activity. UMILES Next will lead the development of advanced mobility applications for Ground Operators, as well as aerial ones. A new adventure that we are sure will change the rules of The Next Generation of Mobility.

2022 (JUNE)

WORLD ATM CONGRESS

UMILES Next was a leading figure again at the next World ATM Congress in June 2022, where we presented our eVTOL along with other innovations.

2022 (SEPTEMBER)

OUTDOOR FLIGHTS

Outdoor test flight campaigns start To proof the technology and the eVTOL features in real outdoor flights.

2023 (NOVEMBER)

DUBAI AIR SHOW
