This chapter of our journey is dedicated to setting up logistical highways in the sky that leapfrog traditional means of transportation. Tom Plümmer, CEO of Wingcopter, comments: “Our team is driven by tackling the world’s challenges through scalable innovations. Wingcopter also plans to expand its drone-delivery-as-a-service offerings, and will significantly ramp up their staff, currently at about 100 employees. The company plans to set up a partially automated production line at their Weiterstadt, Germany, headquarters: and they plan to develop a production facility in the U.S.

To further expand its market reach, Wingcopter is pressing ahead at full speed to launch the next generation of its aircraft, a game-changing delivery drone with unmatched technical specifications. It can accurately lower a package through a winch mechanism, or land at the point of destination and return to its origin with new payload. The press release provides a summary of how the Wingcopter solution works: The current model, the Wingcopter 178 Heavy Lift, provides both one- and two-way delivery, covering distances of up to 120 kilometers. “At the same time, Wingcopter is well-positioned and ready to establish more partnerships worldwide centering around other fully automated delivery applications.”
“Wingcopter will use the funds to strengthen its leadership in drone-based logistics, with a special focus on healthcare-related applications, including the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines,” says a press release. The Wingcopter investment round will enable the company to expand both services and production capacity.
