TORONTO, Jan. 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Drone Delivery
Canada 'DDC or the Company' (TSX.V:FLT OTC:TAKOF), is
pleased to announce that it will start testing its Raven X1400
cargo delivery drone in Q1 of 2018.
The Raven X1400 delivery drone is engineered to provide pay load
capacities of up to 25lbs and designed to fly approximately 60km.
The Raven X1400 boasts a larger payload compared to DDC's Sparrow
X1000 Drone which had its Declaration of Compliance accepted by
Transport Canada in December 2017.
The addition of the Raven X1400 Delivery Drone is designed to meet
the challenging weather conditions of Northern Canada and provide larger payloads
should the demand for such be present.
To date, DDC has identified approximately 1000 Northern remote
communities in Canada where both
the Raven X1400 and Sparrow X1000 delivery payloads would both meet
and exceed community requirements in terms of deliver payloads and
travel distances.
"We continue to develop our platform to expand our capabilities
to meet and exceed client requirements," commented Tony Di Benedetto, CEO. "While doing so, we
now simply just look to integrate our FLYTE Management System into
a newer airframe design to expand the fleet."
The Raven X1400 is fully integrated with the proprietary DDC
FLYTE management system. The Raven X1400, unlike the Sparrow X1000,
will provide a unique and highly sought after dual payload
configuration for both static and tethered deployment. Tethered
deployment is a new technology which DDC has been developing over
the past twenty-four months which the Company considers
revolutionary and quite possibly the future for delivery in urban
settings as it is not Drone Spot specific but rather never lands
and deploys its payload by tether while hovering above at a height
of approximately 100 feet.
DDC will commence testing of the Raven at its in-house testing
laboratory evaluating its endurance and reliability and will
commence outdoor flights once it has passed its testing procedure
and SFOC approvals from Transport Canada.
