Aerial Express System

There are basically two types of aircraft categorized by what they carry: passenger aircraft and cargo aircraft. The former has much more stringent certification rules, so the latter may reach production more rapidly. When it comes to vehicles, I mostly tend to focus on electric vehicles (EVs), because (1) they emit little or no greenhouse gases (GHG) and thus help mitigate climate change, and (2) they will impact the electric utility industry strongly with their increasing demand for electricity. Thus, I periodically write posts on electrically powered aircraft that carry both passenger (like Air-Taxis) and Cargo.

This post is about EV cargo carriers. The drone manufacturer we will cover in this paper has several major differences vs. those that I covered in earlier posts. Also, we will cover two very large merchant corporations with existing fulfillment operations that are starting to use drone fleets.
