MightyFly's autonomous, hybrid-electric Cento cargo drone enables expedited point-to-point delivery servies.

MightyFly has signed a $50 million deal with a California-based healthcare diagnostics firm to offer same-day deliveries of medical test kits using autonomous, hybrid-electric cargo freighters. Under the five-year contract, the delivery services will launch in California and Nevada before expanding nationwide. 

Announcing the partnership on October 2, MightyFly noted that it represents one of the largest commercial agreements to introduce autonomous eVTOL aircraft into healthcare logistics operations. The partners intend to utilize MightyFly’s Cento aircraft to deliver test kits to major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, CVS, and Kroger, as well as other pharmacies, clinics, and educational institutions. Those customers can also use the aircraft to quickly ship tests off to laboratories for diagnostic testing.
