Eight years ago, two brothers started on a journey together. They envisioned a future where everybody had access to same-day delivery. Their idea entails a cargo drone airline that revolutionizes the middle mile. With its cargo drone, Dronamics wants to speed up and enhance the transportation efficiency of goods.
Dronamics is the world’s first cargo drone airline. Аs a leading developer and operator of large, long-range drones built specifically for cargo, its flagship Black Swan can carry 350 kg (770 lb) at a distance of up to 2,500 km (1,550 mi), up to 80% faster, 50% cheaper and with up to 60% lower emissions than alternative modes of transport, including airfreight. This enables same-day shipping over very long distances for various industries: from pharma to food, from e-commerce to spare parts.
The two brothers, Svilen and Konstantin Rangelov have reached some impressive milestones already. They have become the first cargo drone company certified for cross-Europe operations. The Black Swan’s name signifies something rare or believed to be impossible that changes everything. With the first successful flight of their drone, the brothers have done something rare, and the drone has truly earned its name.
