Horizon Aircraft, an eVTOL aircraft developer, has been sold by Astro Aerospace after its acquisition in June in 2021.
The deal saw the transfer of Horizon over to a group of Astro shareholders in a move that CEO Brandon Robinson says will “allow Horizon Aircraft to accelerate the development of our eVTOL in the private sector with access to more flexible funding mechanisms.” Steadicopter joined UK-Based Vikini Drone Packaging to launch a collaboration to transport and deliver hazardous materials via uncrewed aircraft. The match was a natural one, leveraging Steadicopter's Black Eagle rotary wing UAV along with Viking's expertise in durable, secure container systems. The end result will see the Black Eagle 50 E equipped with a multi-function payload container capable of delivering dangerous goods from one destination to another with minimal concern. Ukraine’s volunteer armed forces comprise a small but effective group of drone operators who’ve consistently and convincingly demonstrated the efficacy with which consumer drones can be used to identify targets, direct artillery fire, assess
battle damage—and drop grenades on Russian combatants. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unmanned!!!
