Windracers

Windracers is a company that makes and operates autonomous cargo drones. Its aircraft is called Windracers ULTRA. The site describes it as a dual-use heavy-lift drone for defence, cargo, humanitarian and research missions.

The company says it engineers, builds and flies ULTRA itself, using its own flight and mission control systems. It reports that ULTRA flies beyond visual line of sight for customers in Ukraine, Europe, Greenland, the United States, Antarctica and Africa.

The drone has a 700 litre cargo bay and carries over 200 kg. It can take off and land over short distances. Its endurance is up to 15 hours. The site groups its work as deliver, drop and detect. Delivery means point-to-point cargo to remote places. Drop means precision parachute delivery of supplies where landing is not safe. Detect means aerial survey, environmental monitoring and reconnaissance.

For defence, the site says ULTRA has more than three years of operation in Ukraine. For air cargo, it describes middle-mile drones that add capacity and ease bottlenecks. For humanitarian work, it describes aid deliveries to remote and isolated communities. For research, it describes data gathering with mission-specific equipment.

The company says its values are cost-effective reliability, safe and efficient operation, and multi-mission use. The website has a contact form, a careers page and a UK phone number.
