Why cargo drones?
Some deliveries are hard: a spare part to a mountain telecom mast, medical supplies across a flooded valley, tools to the top of a wind turbine, or supplies to an island when the boat is not running. Cargo drones turn those jobs from hours or days into minutes, without risking people on the way.

Choosing a cargo drone
By load
- Up to 10 kg: SY800. Small parcels, samples and medical supplies, with a stabilised camera.
- Up to 40 kg: THEA 220MP
- Up to 50 kg: P50, D50, THEA 190MP
- Up to 70 kg: THEA 200MP
By route
- Short shuttles (a few hundred metres, repeated): THEA 190MP
- Long routes (up to 10 km): D50, SY800
- High altitude (rated to 5000 m): D50
By delivery method
- Hook and suspended load. Lowered or released at the destination. Fast, and no landing needed.
- Cargo box. Protected goods. The drone lands, is unloaded and returns.
- Drop release. For items that can be dropped safely, such as supplies or flotation devices.
- Winch. Lowering goods without landing, where configured.
Cargo drone use cases
- Mountain logistics: huts, research stations, telecom repeaters, ski infrastructure
- Island and coastal supply: urgent parts and medicines across water
- Construction: materials to roofs, slopes and towers
- Energy: parts and tools to turbines, substations and pylons
- Mining: spares across large sites
- Humanitarian: supplies after disasters cut roads
Planning cargo routes
- Survey the route. Terrain, obstacles, power lines, people, airspace.
- Calculate performance. Payload, distance, altitude, wind and temperature against the aircraft's realistic capability.
- Get approvals. Most cargo routes need a specific approval. BVLOS routes need extra justification.
- Plan landing and drop zones. Clear, controlled and marked.
- Plan contingencies. Alternative landing sites, a lost-link procedure, weather limits.
- Train the crew. Pilot, observers and loaders.
