Elroy Air is teaming up with FedEx to test cargo delivery using the autonomous Chaparral C1 aircraft that it unveiled earlier this year.
FedEx announced this week that it plans to test integration of Elroy Air’s aircraft for its middle-mile operations, which involves moving consignments between its sorting depots. FedEx said it’s interested in making use of the autonomous technology as it could help it deal with the increasing demands placed on its service by the growing popularity of e-commerce.
Elroy Air’s Kofi Asante said his team is “proud to work with FedEx to build the next generation of express logistics,” adding: “When you’re not limited by challenging infrastructure, traffic, or airports, logistics can reach more people, faster than ever before. We look forward to working together to create a new future for how we get goods to people around the world.”
