Dronamics The first European cargo drone airline

Coordinator: DRONAMICS LTD (BG)

Dronamics is the first drone system for fuel-efficient, same-day, cross-border & long-haul middle-mile cargo deliveries. We will operate a proprietary drone fleet from within a network of standardised low-cost droneports using automated flight control systems. Our state-of-the-art drones can carry 350 kg payload within 2500 km flight range, require only 400 m of runway & are 50-90% cheaper than alternatives. Dronamics will enable international same-day deliveries for €5 or less with 40-70% lower CO2 emissions. We will provide e-commerce, pharma & urgent shipments at 3,000+ airstrips in the EU…
