Platform
Our vision was to develop a robust and cost-effective STOL drone capable of addressing the challenging logistical problems associated with delivering essential items and material efficiently to people who needed them in hard to reach or difficult places.
The WAS platform is a twin-engine light alloy twin boom aircraft capable of carrying a payload of 100 kg up to 1000 km, designed in line with our Zero Single Point of Failure philosophy to ensure that, where possible, risks have been rigorously eliminated including avionics, communications and ground control.
