Trending News

19 October 2023
At the beginning of 2023, Prime Air appeared to be headed for rough air. Layoffs, safety concerns, and other issues threatened to keep this business dream of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on the ground. You can read the January 23 story by The Droning Company here: <a href="https://thedroningcompany.com/blog/cutbacks-at-amazon-prime-air-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://thedroningcompany.com/blog/cutbacks-at-amazon-prime-air- .</a>
How things can change...
Amazon is now promising that, by the end of 2024, its drone delivery air force will get parcels to customers in the U.K., Italy, and the U.S. In England's case, Prime Air is projecting each delivery to take less than an hour,
The workhorse&mdash;or workbird&mdash;tasked with getting this done is Amazon's new MK30 drone&mdash;the result of 18 months of design and testing. The MK30 is said to be quieter and capable of flying longer distances than previous Prime Air models, and it can deliver parcels weighing up to five pounds.
<div class="ssrcss-11r1m41-RichTextComponentWrapper ep2nwvo0" data-component="text-block">
<div class="ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1">
To move Prime Air forward, Amazon has worked with government entities to ensure drone delivery is safe.
"Drone delivery is hundreds of times safer than driving to the store," Amazon Prime Air vice president David Carbon told the BBC, regarding drone deliveries&mdash;and the demand for them&mdash;in England. "I've never heard anyone say they wouldn't want something faster. What our customers will do is jump on to the Amazon website, they'll select drone delivery if it's available in their area, they'll order their product, and that will then set off the chain of events that goes to our ground system that finds the customer's yard, drops package off where they asked it, and we're out of there."

Amazon Prime finally ready for prime time?

Drone Delivery

16 October 2023
This year has been one of expansion for <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.a2zdronedelivery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A2Z Drone Delivery, Inc</a>, developer of commercial drone delivery solutions. Earlier this spring, the company announced a new long range commercial delivery drone, the RDSX Pelican which is already landing with customers ready to deploy the platform throughout the United States. To augment the long-range capabilities of the Pelican, A2Z Drone Delivery also recently launched the next addition to its growing drone fleet, the second generation of its RDST integrated cargo drone, <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.a2zdronedelivery.com/rdst-longtail-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the RDST Longtail</a>.
The Longtail features the company&rsquo;s factory-integrated <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.a2zdronedelivery.com/rds2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RDS2 drone winch</a> enabling payloads to be deposited safely from altitude where spinning rotors are kept far from people and property. The RDST Longtail hexacopter design is available in Standard configuration offering a 20 km maximum range, and a rainproof Premium version offering a maximum range of 26 km. With no need for specialty payload boxes, the RDST Longtail is able to auto-release shippers&rsquo; own boxes without the need for a recipient to be on site to receive the payload. Like the Pelican, the Longtail was designed to meet the 55-pound FAA max takeoff weight requirement, and features a factory-integrated remote ID beacon.
With its integrated drone delivery winch, the RDST Longtail offers drone service providers and logistics operators an off-the-shelf, ready-to-fly delivery UAV for last mile delivery. Delivering or retrieving payloads up to 5 kg over a distance of 11 km, the RDST Longtail is the ideal delivery drone for local parcel or food delivery, emergency medical deliveries, drone-born water sampling programs, offshore logistics, search and rescue operations, open mines, solar farms, and more.
<img src="https://media.thedroningcompany.com/images/tincy/Q499C6AGspLEYRjxbB9YelkSfmyU99dQ9KeiWlB8.png" alt="" width="681" height="379" />
The latest addition to the A2Z Drone Delivery fleet, the RDST Longtail continues the company&rsquo;s focus on addressing consumer-protection concerns with burgeoning residential drone deliveries. By conducting deliveries from altitude, A2Z Drone Delivery&rsquo;s solutions protect recipients from spinning UAV propellers, while mitigating privacy concerns of low-flying drones and abating intrusive rotor noise. Depositing payloads from altitude also keeps the UAV high above trees, power lines and buildings enabling longer sight distances for missions requiring visual line of sight.
&ldquo;In upgrading our off-the-shelf RDST platform, we&rsquo;ve streamlined the overall design and upgraded the propulsion system, but the most sought-after upgrade from customers has been the rainproofing built into our new RDST Longtail Premium edition,&rdquo; said Aaron Zhang, founder and CEO of A2Z Drone Delivery, Inc. &ldquo;The RDST Longtail is further democratizing commercial drone delivery by allowing businesses of any kind to quickly and easily launch a drone logistics operation from delivering parts to offshore energy platforms, to deploying live-saving medical equipment to first responders right on scene. As residential parcel delivery continues to expand, the RDST Longtail is positioned as an accessible flight platform for the proliferation of this cost-saving, more eco-conscious last-mile delivery method.&rdquo;
&nbsp;The A2Z Drone Delivery RDST Longtail Standard starts at $20,000, and the RDST Longtail Premium starts at $27,000. The new off-the-shelf drone packages can be purchased through the company <a href="https://www.a2zdronedelivery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>.
<h5>Autonomous Drone Delivery with the A2Z UAV Fleet</h5>
Developing flight platforms that can efficiently and reliably execute the diverse missions its customers require is only part of the development underway at A2Z Drone Delivery. The company is also pushing the boundaries of autonomous delivery. While pilot oversight of delivery drones will always be necessary, autonomous mission capabilities streamline the pilot&rsquo;s job.
A2Z&rsquo;s solution for this challenge is built into its pilot ground station. The A2Z Ground Control Station (A2Z QGC) integrates flight and winch commands with airframe telemetry for accurate navigation and delivery. Its integrated open-source Q Ground Control mission planning software is capable of conducting pre-planned automated delivery missions without needing to land.
For pilots conducting deliveries in the field, they simply input delivery destinations on the Ground Station&rsquo;s touch screen display. They can then add waypoints along the way if the drone needs to avoid known obstructions or no-fly zones. With a payload connected to the A2Z drone winch, the operator simply taps the &ldquo;launch mission&rdquo; button, and the drone autonomously takes off and navigates the pre-planned route. Once on station at its delivery location, the drone assumes a safe hover altitude, and the payload is lowered to the ground. The A2Z auto-release mechanism deposits the payload when it touches down. This allows payloads to be delivered without personnel having to wait for the delivery. Once it has reeled the tether back up, the drone will automatically return along its prescribed route and touch down back at the operations base.
<h5>Customers Take Delivery of A2Z&rsquo;s Long Range RDSX Pelican</h5>
Earlier this spring, A2Z Drone Delivery announced the release of its flagship commercial delivery drone, the <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.a2zdronedelivery.com/rdsxpelicanhome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RDSX Pelican</a>. At the recent Commercial UAV Expo, where The Droning Company team caught up with A2Z CTO Evan Hertafeld, the company showcased the final production model of the Pelican that is now being delivered to initial pre-order customers in the United States.
The Pelican&rsquo;s hybrid VTOL design combines the stability of a rotor lift aircraft with the long-range capabilities of a fixed wing airframe to extend the range and payload capacity of the UAV to handle up to 5 kg payloads on up to 40 km routes. Designed to reduce the cost-per-kilometer of drone delivery, the Pelican is one of the only delivery drones on the market capable of delivering such payloads at such distances. Overall, the Pelican delivers the efficiency, payload capacity, and reach needed to scale a commercial drone delivery operation.
Before customers take delivery of any A2Z commercial delivery drone, their pilot team completes a comprehensive hands-on training course in their new flight system.&nbsp; The training course developed by the A2Z Drone Delivery team ensures pilots are familiar with every aspect of the new delivery drone. While most seasoned pilots are accustomed to the flight characteristics of a traditional multi-rotor UAV or a fixed wing craft, for most taking the sticks of the Pelican, it will be the first time they have piloted a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) craft. To help make this transition as seamless as possible, the Pelican hovers no differently than any other coaxial octocopter ensuring seasoned multi-rotor pilots feel right at home at the controls. During forward flight, the tail rotor kicks in and flies like a fixed wing.
The A2Z training curriculum covers initial pre-flight checks of propeller orientation, battery voltage, communications between the ground station and the UAV, etc. Once the pilots have been checked out on the delivery drone, it&rsquo;s time to go to work. The training team begins with basic maneuvers without a payload slung below the craft to learn the basics of piloting the aircraft.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<img src="https://media.thedroningcompany.com/images/tincy/0UJQMpc1VFrV6FxxxCtrFjCbc1AwWwjF6LI8ATht.png" alt="" width="671" height="504" />
Operators then learn how to properly load payloads onto the A2Z winch. The team reviews the extensive redundant safety measures integrated with the Rapid Delivery System such as the payload monitoring system, passive payload lock, and tether abandonment should it become inadvertently entangled. They then learn how to manually operate the winch before practicing basic maneuvers with a payload aboard the delivery drone. Once they are comfortable with manual flight, the training turns to the user interface for the autonomous delivery capabilities.
The team finalizes the training with the new pilots simulating multiple payload delivery missions. They load their own payloads, input pre-planned routes, and conduct autonomous deliveries. At times, the instructor will simulate an unexpected system failure requiring the pilots to take manual control of the mission in order to complete the delivery and return to the operations base. By simulating these scenarios, customers can be comfortable that they are ready to take to the skies for their own drone delivery operations.

&ldquo;Opening the country&rsquo;s first UAM corridor will help the industry directly address these challenges with real-time data and learning,&rdquo; Yap continued. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll be able to do more than just run simulations and models &ndash; we&rsquo;ll be flying missions and gaining critical experience that will inform how drones can be safely and effectively integrated into our daily lives and businesses.&rdquo;
<h5>North Carolina Setting the Standard</h5>
Building the next generation of transportation technology is a highly complex and collaborative effort. Over the last several years, AeroX leaders have convened multiple stakeholders, including government entities, technology providers, urban planners, and community representatives to develop a comprehensive plan for the corridor, considering factors such as infrastructure requirements, regulatory frameworks, and public acceptance.
North Carolina has emerged as a frontrunner in drone flights, providing an enabling environment for the industry's growth and development.&nbsp;
Integration Pilot Program: North Carolina was one of the first states selected for the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Integration Pilot Program (IPP). The program aims to accelerate the integration of drones into the national airspace by fostering partnerships between the FAA, state, local governments, and private sector entities. Through the IPP, North Carolina has facilitated several groundbreaking drone projects, including drone delivery trials and emergency response applications piloted by AeroX members.
Education and Research: North Carolina is home to renowned research institutions and universities actively engaged in drone research and innovation. Collaborative efforts between academia and industry have resulted in advancements in drone technology and applications.&nbsp;
&ldquo;AeroX is building an economic engine around drones that crosses the state,&rdquo; Yap said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re working with Elizabeth City State University, an HBCU, to train drone pilots. We&rsquo;re working with high school students in Winston-Salem to introduce them to the industry and teach them the fundamentals. And we&rsquo;re working with companies, researchers, economists, and regulators to ensure North Carolina maintains our competitive edge.&rdquo;
The state's commitment to research and development has attracted leading drone innovators like AeroX, contributing to the industry's growth.
&ldquo;North Carolina&rsquo;s license plates say &ldquo;First in Flight&rdquo; as a tribute to the Wright Brothers&rsquo; historic accomplishment, and AeroX is positioning the state to be Next in Flight. When you think about the history of aviation, we&rsquo;re at an inflection point right now. There hasn&rsquo;t been a significant technological advancement like UAM since the introduction of the jet propulsion engine in 1940.&rdquo;
AeroX's pioneering efforts to build the first urban UTM in North Carolina exemplify the organization's and state&rsquo;s commitment to ushering in the next age of aviation innovation. As AeroX collaborates with various stakeholders, advocates for regulatory frameworks, and engages with the public, the vision of seamless AAM operations in North Carolina becomes closer to reality and closer to fulfilling the potential of the next great age of aviation.

AeroX: Pioneering Advanced Air Mobility in North Carolina

01 June 2023
Delivery drones are uniquely capable of transporting payloads faster, cheaper and more sustainably than traditional vehicles or ships. While many last-mile terrestrial or seaborn deliveries are already possible with unmanned aerial vehicles, the unit costs of those deliveries need to continue to fall for the industry to truly scale.
At the recent AUVSI XPONENTIAL, <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.a2zdronedelivery.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A2Z Drone Delivery, Inc</a>, developer of commercial drone delivery solutions, released its latest flagship commercial delivery drone, the A2Z Drone Delivery <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.a2zdronedelivery.com/rdsxpelicanhome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RDSX Pelican</a>. With the RDSX Pelican&rsquo;s new hybrid VTOL design, A2Z has extended the range and payload capacity to handle up to 5 kg payloads on up to 40 km routes. The Pelican has also been designed to reduce the cost-per-kilometer of drone delivery, allowing drone service providers to more easily scale operations.
With its patented tethered delivery system, A2Z Drone Delivery, Inc. is developing innovative solutions to enable safe, accurate and low-noise drone deliveries. Focused on last-mile UAV delivery systems, A2Z is creating UAV delivery platforms capable of pushing drone delivery into the mainstream of logistics operations. Based in Los Angeles, C.A., A2Z originated as a drone delivery project at Brown University in 2016 and now services customers around the world which are leveraging its technology for a diverse array of applications.
A2Z Drone Delivery&rsquo;s first offering was its Rapid Delivery System (RDS), a drone agnostic winch system. By conducting payload deliveries from altitude, the A2Z solution enables deliveries from altitude where spinning propellers are kept far from people and property, mitigating consumer privacy concerns of low-flying drones while abating intrusive rotor noise. In 2022, the company rolled out the new RDS2 drone winch offering the highest payload capacity of any tethered delivery system on the market, and eliminating the need for specialty payload boxes. The just-launched RDSX Pelican can be purchased with the factory integrated RDS2 onboard.
<h5>RDSX Pelican Unit Economics</h5>
While localized labor costs are outside the manufacturer&rsquo;s control, in designing the new RDSX Pelican, the A2Z development team has put the unit economics of drone deliveries front and center. To maximize scalability of drone delivery ecosystems, the RDSX Pelican was designed to minimize operational costs for commercial drone delivery fleets. Boasting an attractive 13 cents/kg/km operating cost when fully loaded, the Pelican delivers the efficiency, payload capacity and reach needed to scale a commercial drone delivery operation.
A2Z was able to reduce these operational costs by simplifying the Pelican&rsquo;s airframe. With no ailerons, elevator or rudder, the Pelican&rsquo;s durable-yet-simple design eliminates common points of failure and exponentially extends operational time between maintenance overhauls. In short, the Pelican keeps the deliveries flowing longer. Designed to satisfy the 55-pound takeoff weight limitation for FAA Part 107 compliance, the Pelican is ready to go to work in the US and around the world.
&ldquo;Here at A2Z Drone Delivery, our development is not just about maximizing performance, it&rsquo;s about creating usable tools designed to get work done,&rdquo; said Aaron Zhang, Founder and CEO of A2Z Drone Delivery, Inc. &ldquo;A full-service drone delivery ecosystem will need a fleet of short, medium and long-range UAV platforms capable of depositing payloads in an array of settings. The new RDSX Pelican is the highly efficient, long range delivery platform in that last-mile fleet. It is thoughtfully designed to minimize potential points of failure, reducing the overall cost-per-kilometer of logistics operations, all while providing maximum payload flexibility.&rdquo;
<h5>Multiple Pelican Configurations and Availability</h5>
Available in multiple configurations starting at $29,000, the RDSX Pelican can be customized for an array of missions. The Pelican can be configured with the A2Z Drone Delivery RDS2 drone winch, or, for missions in which the drone is able to safely land at its destination, a simple servo-release mechanism can release payloads and expand the Pelican&rsquo;s payload capacity. Beyond logistics use cases like residential deliveries, the Pelican can be fully customized to suit unique mission criteria such as aerial mapping, drone inspection, forestry services, search and rescue operations, water sample collection, offshore deliveries, mining, and more.
The company is now accepting pre-orders for the RDSX Pelican which will be fulfilled on a first-come-first-served basis with initial deliveries expected for June 2023.
<h5>A2Z Expands Global Footprint</h5>
The company also recently expanded its global operations with a new test facility outside Shanghai, China. Dubbed &ldquo;Ground Zero,&rdquo; the test facility allows A2Z&rsquo;s development team to test its next generation cargo drones and drone winches under real life conditions.
Over the last year, A2Z has been conducting daily autonomous beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) parcel deliveries to real life consumers. With the facility situated near a mountainous bamboo forest popular with hikers, A2Z also partnered with a local campground to deliver food and beverages from the campground&rsquo;s caf&eacute; to hikers on the trails.
"The regulatory flexibility at our Ground Zero test facility really allows us to push the boundaries of autonomous unmanned deliveries, and the daily residential parcel deliveries we&rsquo;re conducting have given us amazing insights into how customers will interact with our drones,&rdquo; said Zhang. &ldquo;While we&rsquo;ve designed our just-launched RDSX Pelican to meet the Part 107 requirements for operations under current US rules, at Ground Zero our team is already developing the drone delivery solutions of tomorrow. Our testing there gives us the data needed to demonstrate our commercial UAV systems are safe, reliable, economic, and efficient. With the work we are doing there we can ensure our delivery drones are ready to take flight here in the US and around the world as the regulatory environments continue to shift.&rdquo;

A2Z Drone Delivery Launches RDSX Pelican

25 May 2023
Society is becoming more and more aware of the enormous potential uses of UAS to perform multiple tasks that would streamline and reduce costs in many of industrial application's routine tasks. One of these uses which is having a great relevance is the case of on-demand delivery or the medical transportation. &nbsp;
<a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/aerospace-and-defense/our-insights/future-air-mobility-blog/drone-delivery-more-lift-than-you-think" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to McKinsey</a>, over the past three years, there have been more than 660,000 commercial drone deliveries to customers, not including the countless test flights to develop and prove the technology (Exhibit). In the same way, as <a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.uavnavigation.com/company/blog/autopilot-package-drone-delivery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">we already mentioned in our whitepaper about Package Drone Delivery</a>, Deloitte estimates a value of US $115 billion in 2035, and the packaging delivery using drones, with a market growth rate of 48 percent by 2029.
The extensive use of unmanned aircraft for these purposes would increase the low-altitude air traffic and it would raise the probability of accidents. Relying on a technology that guarantees the precise and on-time reception of cargo and eases the correct air traffic management. Air Traffic Control&nbsp;becomes a critical need to make these applications a reality. &nbsp;
An example would be a UAV taking off from an airfield which is at a significant distance from the mission area. If the UAV requires a segregated airspace, it is critical to overfly certain areas following a given schedule allowing for airspace optimization. 4D trajectories allow assure the fulfilment of this schedule.
<h5>Multi-UAV Coordination Flight</h5>
Multi-UAV operations are complex unmanned operations where more than one unmanned aircraft is commanded from a single ground control station. This advanced type of mission requires an advanced flight control system capable of managing the complex schema of operation with multiple telemetry links and commands.
Multi-UAV flights are very useful for military practices, however, controlling two UAVs on flight is a very stressful situation for remote operators who should coordinate their movements to perform their missions. One of these missions is aerial target emulation in military training exercises. For example, the testing of radar systems against multiple platform attacks. &nbsp;
Some of these missions would require the use of two or more UAT (Unmanned Aerial Targets) simulating a coordinated penetration attack over a coastline. &nbsp;
During this test operatives, all target drones will perform a flight where time is a critical variable to create a demanding scenario where the radar systems under test should squeeze all their capabilities.
To give a professional solution to these, and more drone applications where time is a critical variable, <a href="https://www.uavnavigation.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UAV Navigation-Grupo Oes&iacute;a</a> has developed the 4D Trajectory capability. This new capability of the system enables the operator to configure the time at which a specific waypoint will be reached. The autopilot will adjust the aircraft airspeed to arrive to these assigned waypoints along its route at the specified time.
UAV Navigation-Grupo Oes&iacute;a advanced ground control software, Visionair, includes an intuitive configuration tool that will make the on-time flight configuration an easy and user-friendly interface to track the flight and monitor the UAS performance with the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) display on the main display of the software.
The company continues providing cutting-edge functionalities to enable their FCC customers to perform the unmanned aviation missions of the future. &nbsp;
<a style="color: #ba372a;" href="https://www.uavnavigation.com/company/contact-uav-navigation">Contact us</a> to find out more about the 4D Trajectory capabilities and purposes. &nbsp;

Drones are helping remote Indigenous communities in Canada assert control over necessities such as transporting goods and essential medicines to where they are needed.
"It's a decolonial effort where it returns the power into our hands so that we can assert our self-determination, and determine how it unfolds within our region," says Jacob Taylor, a member of Curve Lake First Nation near Toronto, and founder/CEO of <a href="https://www.indigenousaerospace.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indigenous Aerospace</a>.
<img src="https://media.thedroningcompany.com/images/tincy/1tuZs2D8MC7GpVcGJacjZ1APxgzLpPM2L2lapEQj.png" alt="" width="344" height="301" />

While working on education programs for remote communities in Northern Ontario, Taylor became intimately aware of the logistical challenges facing areas that are usually accessible by plane. In 2016, he learned of a Webequie First Nation woman who died as a result of the community's nursing station running out of oxygen.
"The nearest oxygen tank was just 43 miles away," explains Taylor. "But, since it was nighttime when the tank ran out, helicopters couldn't fly. However, a drone could have, and remote-piloted aircraft systems suddenly became a fascinating concept to solve some of the critical-care logistics within the region."
But Taylor doesn't simply wish to deploy drones to bring supplies to communities that need them. He wants to ensure that Indigenous communities don't miss the chance to emerge as leaders in the drone industry.&nbsp;
So, in July 2021, he founded Indigenous Aerospace with the goal of helping First Nations communities develop drone programs.
"There have been no treaties signed for the sky," says Taylor. "Indigenous people have an inherent right to participate in the aerospace industry.&nbsp;In addition, there are no cookie-cutter solutions that work in all of our communities. We have to find the right fit for the right place, and the best people to do that are the people that originate from there."
