Self flying drone delivers aid in Africa

A new version of a self-flying cargo drone that delivers humanitarian aid in remote areas in Central Africa.

The ‘Windracers Ultra’ a self-flying cargo drone, with double the power and 50 percent more payload, has been chosen by Aviation Without Borders, to deliver to those in need in Central Africa.

The Ultra Mark 2 can range up to 621 miles, manages to stay high for up to nine hours, and can land on almost any terrain. The drone operates day or night, with minimal ground operator oversight.
 

In recent years, the British aircraft has remained functional in Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States, enabling organizations to transport meaningful payloads to hard-to-reach places quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.

Windracers team plans to craft Ultra Mark 2 daily and sell them for the same price as a family car or sell cargo capacity as a service, just like other logistics companies.
