How Urban Air Mobility is getting ready for passengers: the NTU Singapore case
Singapore’s NTU flew its eVTOL prototypes in Germany. See what it means for urban air mobility, and why safety starts in flight control.

May 15, 2026
From May 11–14, the Embention team participated in XPONENTIAL Detroit 2026, the leading international event for the autonomy, robotics, and unmanned systems industries.

The event once again brought together thousands of professionals, manufacturers, integrators, and technology leaders from around the world to discuss the future of autonomous operations and UAV solutions, reinforcing its position as one of the industry’s most important global meeting points.
During the exhibition, Embention showcased its latest solutions for autonomous platforms and critical flight systems, reinforcing the company’s commitment to safety, reliability, and certification in advanced UAV operations. Attendees had the opportunity to learn firsthand how Embention’s technologies continue to support the development of safer, more efficient unmanned aircraft adapted to the operational and regulatory demands of the international market.
Coinciding with the event, David Benavente, CEO of Embention, participated as a speaker at Loitering Munition USA 2026 with the presentation “A High-Integrity Flight Control Strategy for Loitering Munitions, Interceptors and Launched Effects.”

During the session, he presented Embention’s approach to addressing the evolving operational needs of Loitering Munition, Counter-UAS, and Launched Effects platforms, moving beyond conventional UAV autopilot concepts.

Embention’s participation in both events reinforces the company’s international positioning within the global ecosystem of advanced autonomous systems and defense technologies.
In addition to showcasing its technological capabilities and sharing expertise with the industry, these events provided valuable opportunities to strengthen relationships with manufacturers, integrators, and international organizations, while also exploring new collaboration opportunities in a rapidly evolving sector.
Through its presence at XPONENTIAL Detroit 2026 and Loitering Munition USA 2026, Embention continues to drive the development of reliable, high-performance technologies for the next generation of autonomous and unmanned platforms.
