Avionics technician
Our mission at DRONAMICS is to democratize air freight through innovation. Our goal is to help reach more people at a lower cost and less impact on the environment. To achieve this, we have developed a new type of cargo aircraft, one that is small, autonomous and powered by energy efficient technology. It can transport 350 KG over 2,500 KM and has a lower operating cost than any other current aircraft. It flies autonomously, can be monitored and managed remotely via satellite, and the whole system costs less than a sports car. This is the kind of technology that can transform whole economies.
At first, it didn't sound possible, but we keep proving it is, which is why we've called it “The Black Swan”. It can land on short and unpaved runways, enabling on-demand point-to-point flights and speedy same-day delivery even to the most remote locations that would otherwise take days to reach over ground or sea.
We are starting with domestic air networks in Europe, Australia and Canada with fleets of the Black Swan, taking advantage of the multitude of small airfields that are often unused, training local personnel as drone and logistics operators, and partnering with local industry to provide a valuable lifeline of getting goods in and out of small, remote, mountainous and/or island communities within hours at a cost that is often below even that of road transportation.
We believe that same-day shipping for everyone is the future, and our goal is to enable same-day deliveries for every single person on the planet at a cost that everyone, everywhere can afford.
