This cutting-edge technology, combined with their proprietary mesh networking capabilities, is expected to revolutionize the airborne logistics field. “While our competitors are focusing on how to carry more weight, we are focusing on building a more intelligent aircraft,” said Flippo. “This technology, combined with our proprietary mesh networking capabilities, will propel our aircraft to the forefront of autonomous airborne logistics.” The groundbreaking technology developed by Drone Express is expected to pave the way for the future of autonomous aerial logistics. With the company on track to obtain a Part 135 FAA certification, Drone Express is sure to be a leader in this new and exciting industry.
