Skyfarer’s Orca drone demonstrates capabilities at Farnborough International Airshow 2024
The Orca has state-of-the-art navigation, a robust design, and real-time data transmission capabilities
UK-based Skyfarer, a specialist in uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) operations, recently unveiled its Orca drone, designed to leverage medical logistics with its advanced flying capabilities and UAV solutions.
The Orca drone is tailored for a wide range of logistics applications, including industrial distribution, emergency response, blood delivery, and radiopharmaceutical logistics.
Skyfarer is collaborating with a trio of organizations later this summer to ensure the timely and reliable delivery of critical medicines. The initiative is funded by the UK’s Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) and supported by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC).
Elliot Parnham, CEO of Skyfarer, commented: “Our participation in the Farnborough Airshow marked a significant milestone for us. The Orca showcased our commitment to innovation and excellence in UAV technology and we met up with visitors who recognized the depth of information and solutions that drone technology can bring to their industries.”
Swiss drone company RigiTech recently announced the Netherlands-based Medical Drone Service as the latest operator of its Eiger UAVs.
