About Our Partners:
Aeros is pioneering last-mile delivery with its Airship Fulfillment Center (AFC), combining airship logistics with UAS flexibility and precision. The Zero-Emission Electric Variable Buoyancy Airship (eVBA) acts as an airborne warehouse, deploying drones to deliver packages directly to customers within 90 minutes. Drones fly down from the AFC, deliver packages, and return to pick up packages for the next delivery.
Safety is at the core of the AFC model. With Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) operations, managed by a Remote Pilot and a Visual Observer onboard the AFC, Aeros ensures safe separation between drones and other traffic. This sets a new standard for secure, efficient last-mile delivery, enhancing public trust and regulatory confidence.
