Skyways, founded in 2017, focuses on revolutionizing transportation through drone technology by removing humans from high-risk logistics operations.
The company's approach involves building and flying full-scale prototypes early in the design process to save time and money, with a lean, hands-on engineering approach.
Skyways' V2 drone features a hybrid VTOL design with 8-hour flight time, foldable wings, and a cargo bay for small essentials, showcasing autonomy and efficiency in resupply flights.
Skyways received a $37 million government contract from the USAF's AFWERX program to finalize production of the V3 drone, aiming for mass manufacturing for defense and commercial applications.
