/CNW/ - Drone Delivery Canada Corp. (TSXV: FLT) (OTC QX: TAKOF)
(Frankfurt: A2AMGZ or ABB.F) (the "Company" or "DDC") is
pleased to provide an update on the Condor drone development.
The Company has successfully tested numerous aspects of the
Condor solution at test ranges in Alma,
Quebec at the Unmanned Aerial System Centre of Excellence,
and in Foremost, Alberta at the
UAS Test Range. On November the 4th, 2021, the Company

testing will continue, in addition to customer pre-delivery
inspection, maintenance, training and customer
demonstrations. The Centre will also support testing and
development of multiple DDC platforms, including the: FLYTE
software, Detect and Avoid (DAA) systems, Canary drone, DroneSpot
depots, etc.
In addition to previously announced updates on Condor
development and testing, the following further progress has been
made – engine control unit (ECU) overhaul (avionics + engine
overhaul), enhanced start-up procedure process, mechanical
reliability improvements, upgraded to latest components (clutch,
splitter gearbox, torque valves, etc).
Additionally, some items that remain to be completed –
integration of automated weight & balance system, further
testing with FLYTE software system, further payload testing,
environmental testing, high speed testing, etc.
"We continue the development & testing of the Condor drone,
and related necessary ecosystem components, and we are pleased with
the progress & success we are having thus far. This is
something unique that has never been done before. In a highly
regulated and safety-centric industry, it's important to be
methodical and approach this innovative development in a
disciplined way," said Paul Di
Benedetto, Company Co-Founder and Engineering
Strategist.
"As a company in early-stage commercialization, and in a new and
highly regulated industry, Condor progress continues at a pace
commensurate with the overall complexity of the solution, global
supply chain issues, and the impacts of the pandemic in
Canada. The Condor will come to market when the Company feels
confident that it is ready. Market response to the Condor has
been favourable from prospects in Canada and internationally and we are pleased
with what we think the Condor will bring to our customers and the
industry in terms of potential logistical cost savings &
efficiencies and incremental revenue opportunities," said
Michael Zahra, President & CEO
of DDC.
The Condor is expected to be commercially available in the
latter part of 2022.
