CEO shares secret to creating this unique aircraft the Navy is investing over $7 million in to fly parts to broken warships
Briefly

The US Navy is exploring the use of motorcycle-sized drones to deliver critical repair parts to incapacitated warships as part of the BlueWater Maritime Logistics UAS project. Traditional helicopter and tiltrotor aircraft currently handle these deliveries, which often involve lightweight cargo that doesn't necessitate heavy crewed aircraft. PteroDynamics recently expanded its contract with the Navy to develop its innovative Transwing drone, aiming to enhance delivery efficiency and reduce resource waste. The project's goal is to create a flexible, efficient alternative for time-sensitive logistics in maritime operations.
