Air Cargo Week on how Windracers is advancing autonomous aviation
Windracers has been featured in Air Cargo Week, highlighting how autonomous aviation is moving from concept to operational reality.
The article highlights Windracers ULTRA, our dual-use heavy-lift drone, and its proven ability to operate reliably in complex and contested environments without the need for a pilot.
Windracers experts discuss how its autonomous capabilities allow the aircraft to complete missions even if communication links are interrupted, providing operational resilience where traditional systems may be constrained.
Designed for flexibility, Windracers ULTRA is already supporting a range of operations including humanitarian, research, civil, and defence projects – delivering reliable results across multiple sectors.
Stephen Wright, Founder and Chairman of Windracers, explains: “Even if control links fail, the aircraft continues its mission without human intervention.”
He goes on to say, “We’ve had drones disappear for six hours and return safely over the horizon. That reliability underpins everything we do.”
