TORONTO, March 3, 2021 /CNW/ - Drone Delivery Canada Corp.
(TSXV: FLT) (OTC: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: A2AMGZ or ABB.F) (the
"Company" or "DDC") is pleased to provide an update
on the Condor drone based on recent successful testing at the
Foremost UAS Test Range, in Foremost,
Alberta, Canada.
The Company is pleased to announce that it has successfully
completed further testing of the Condor, including testing as
related to: cold-weather performance, wind performance, cargo-area
temperature profiles, long-duration flight testing, aircraft
attitude and position controller tuning, autonomy, and autonomous
waypoint navigation. These attributes are important
with respect to commercial / industrial applications and healthcare
cargo, especially biologicals, pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
The Company had previously announced successful testing of
numerous critical aspects of the Condor, including:
triple-redundant communications system (satellite, cellular,
900MHz RF); triple-redundant navigational guidance system;
triple-redundant autopilot system; monitoring of unmanned flights
remotely from DDC's Operations Control Centre in Vaughan, Ontario; general flight stability and
performance; fuel consumption characteristics; multiple unique
flying patterns; multiple velocity vectors and altitude profiles;
sound pressure levels; engine tuning characteristics; maintenance
procedures; logging of flight data; and extended endurance testing
in varying environmental conditions.
Pursuant to proposed Transport Canada regulations, the Condor
would not require a formal aircraft type-certification when
operated in specific lower-risk (remote) locations, as is
intended. Commercialization in support of COVID-19 related
activities and also remote area deliveries would commence for 2021
projects once DDC has completed testing. Flight
approvals would be requested through Transport Canada following the
straightforward and well-established Special Flight Operations
Certificate (SFOC) process that DDC has successfully used in the
past.
The Condor is currently the Company's largest drone with an
expected range of 200km (124mi) and a payload capacity of 180kg
(396lb) and is fully integrated with the Company's patented FLYTE
software system. The turnkey solution is marketed in a
managed service SaaS business model in Canada and as a licensed managed service
internationally.
"We are very pleased with the ongoing successful testing of our
Condor delivery drone. The Sparrow, Robin XL and Condor all
have unique use-case applications based on range and payload
capabilities, and we are excited to have the two additional models
coming to market. The Sparrow continues to operate successfully at
current customer projects. Robin XL & Condor solution
pre-selling efforts are underway and market response has been very
favourable in Canada and
internationally, and we are working to close a number of specific
prospective opportunities," said Michael
Zahra, President & CEO of DDC.
