Our goal at MightyFly is to solve this problem through express, customized aerial drone delivery services. MightyFly drones will transport cargo to multiple locations in a single flight across hundreds of miles of remote terrain that is difficult if not impossible to cross with trucks or other ground vehicles. We are developing vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) drones that fly more than 300 miles, and carry payloads in excess of 50 pounds at a fraction of the cost of helicopters. Featuring automated cargo loading and unloading, and requiring no launch or recovery infrastructure, MightyFly drones will accommodate ad-hoc deliveries to undeveloped sites as well as servicing locations along established routes.
