BVLOS

New Zealand manufacturer Dawn Aerospace is developing ‘an aircraft with the performance of a rocket’ for suborbital space transportation.

The mayor of College Station wrote to the FAA urging the regulator to reject a request by Amazon to more than double its service area in the city.

Through an integration with its partners, the multinational corporation later this month will give Dallas/Fort Worth-based app users the option to order drone delivery.

The company has obtained a waiver for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations, allowing it to expand its service in College Station, Texas.

American Aerospace Technologies Inc. says its AiRanger is the first drone of its size to be approved for commercial beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations.

The company has a partnership with U.S.-based Spright, the drone delivery subsidiary of Air Methods, to deploy its Eiger drone worldwide.

The DroneUp Ecosystem includes a next-generation drone platform, autonomous software, and ground infrastructure.

The partners will begin flying out of a single Wendy’s location in Christiansburg, Virginia, with plans to expand the service to other U.S. cities later this year.

The drone delivery company will no longer be required to have a pilot or visual observer watch its aircraft in the sky.

The new design doesn’t yet have a name, but it’s built to carry orders the company requires two drones to deliver.
