announce that it has commenced testing its newest cargo delivery
drone, 'The Falcon' with a lifting capability of 50 pounds of
payload and a travel range of 60km.
"In response to market demand driven by the burgeoning
e-commerce industry, our engineering team was given the task of
building out our fleet of cargo drones to address the need for a
multi-package payload compartment solution which is applicable in
many different geographies. The Falcon is the newest edition
to DDC's fleet and meets this particular niche which is being
requested by DDC's customers.", commented Tony Di Benedetto, CEO.

approvals now for the Falcon. We continue to push the
envelope in building bigger, larger cargo capabilities within our
drone fleet of vehicles.", commented Paul
Di Benedetto, CTO.
