Windracers features in Air Logistics International on scaling up production

Windracers has been featured in Air Logistics International, which explores how the company is scaling up production of Windracers ULTRA, the dual-use heavy-lift drone, to meet growing demand across civil, defence and humanitarian markets.

Speaking with CEO Simon Muderack, the piece looks at the expansion of Windracers manufacturing capability and what it takes to move from specialist missions to sustained, repeatable operations at scale.

Several dozen Windracers ULTRA platforms are already deployed on demanding missions ranging from climate research in Antarctica to operational use in Ukraine. The feature examines how lessons from real-world operations are feeding directly into design decisions, production processes and reliability improvements.

Discussing how defence missions provide the flying, data and operational learning needed to make civilian logistics viable, Simon explains: “Some use cases like civilian logistics need the economics defined, which we want to do by leveraging opportunities in defence to fly, using the experience delivering the founding purpose of the company. The other markets give us the opportunities to learn and develop, gathering data enabling us to exploit the civilian marketplace.”

With its growing fleet and expanding capabilities, Windracers is demonstrating how drones can redefine logistics across extreme and conventional environments alike.
