Overview

Drones revolutionize medical courier operations by eliminating ground traffic constraints through direct aerial routes. While vans average 15-30 mph in urban environments due to traffic and road networks, drones maintain consistent 30-60 mph speeds along direct paths. This speed advantage, combined with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, enables typical 30-minute urban deliveries to be completed in 5-10 minutes.

Our platform integrates commercial drones equipped with redundant safety systems, automated flight control, and specialized payload management. These aircraft can operate in most weather conditions, including light snow and rain, while maintaining temperature control for sensitive medical supplies. Each drone accommodates standard medical transport containers up to 5kg, covering approximately 80% of typical medical courier payloads.

Key Advantages Over Traditional Vans:

  • Predictable delivery times unaffected by traffic

  • 70-90% reduction in delivery time for urban routes

  • Lower per-mile operating costs (no fuel, reduced labor)

  • Zero direct emissions during operation

  • Simultaneous operation of multiple aircraft by one operator

  • Real-time tracking and automated chain of custody

  • Expandable coverage without proportional staff increase

These capabilities enable medical couriers to improve service levels while reducing operational costs, particularly for time-critical deliveries where speed and reliability directly impact patient care.

Impact

Our drone integration eliminates the uncertainty of ground transport, turning stressful 30-minute urban deliveries into confident 5-10 minute transfers. No more anxious waiting during traffic delays or rerouting around road closures.

Healthcare couriers partnering with our network gain access to predictable delivery windows, eliminate traffic-related delays, and maintain complete visibility of their critical supplies in transit. This enhanced reliability translates directly to improved patient care outcomes and operational efficiency. Our automated system scales seamlessly with your needs, enabling service expansion without the traditional overhead of additional vehicles or personnel.

Regulation

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107 operations limit our service to visual line of sight flights, restricting delivery range and requiring visual observers. While this enables initial drone delivery services, key constraints include maximum altitude of 400 feet, and no flights over people - limiting optimal route selection and service areas.

Part 135 is an FAA air carrier certification required for commercial air transportation, including drone delivery services. While traditional Part 107 limits drones to visual line-of-sight operations, Part 135 certification enables advanced capabilities like beyond visual line-of-sight flights, and flights over people. Think of it as the difference between local delivery trucks (Part 107) and a full-scale shipping network (Part 135) - it's the certification that allows companies like FedEx and UPS to operate their aircraft networks, and it's essential for scaling autonomous drone delivery operations across larger areas. Companies like Zipline, Wing, and Amazon Prime Air already hold Part 135 certificates for their drone delivery services.

Path to Part 135 Certification:

Achieving Part 135 certification requires demonstrating comprehensive safety systems, maintenance procedures, and flight operations protocols. This rigorous certification process includes validating autonomous systems reliability, establishing robust risk management procedures, and documenting extensive operational testing. Our technology stack is designed with these requirements in mind, systematically building the safety case needed for certification.

Part 135 certification enables:

  • Beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations

  • Operations in lower visibility

  • Optimized routes over populated areas

  • Extended delivery ranges through autonomous operations

  • Multi-leg deliveries across network

  • Reduced operational costs through true automation

This transition from Part 107 to Part 135 transforms limited drone deliveries into a scalable autonomous network capable of meeting the demands of modern medical logistics. Our development roadmap systematically addresses each certification requirement while maintaining current operations under Part 107.

Our Roadmap

"We are committed to scaling our delivery service. We will continue to add more innovative solutions that are already available in the market and make them available. We are watching. We are listening. We are learning. We can't wait to show you what we are building."
