Sabrewing Aircraft Company this week logged the first commercial orders for its Rhaegal-B unmanned eVTOL cargo aircraft. Through a deal to buy 102 examples of the aircraft, Arabian Development & Marketing Co. (ADMC) has become the exclusive sales representative for Saudi Arabia; the five other states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), namely Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates; and Africa.

The agreement, announced on September 29, is valued at over $600 million, which implies a unit price for the aircraft of around $5.9 million. ADMC says it expects to soon start taking deposit-backed orders from prospective operators throughout the GCC region and Africa.
