Swedish rotorcraft distributor Savback Helicopters has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to buy 25 of Mayman Aerospace’s remotely piloted Speeder VTOL aircraft. The turbine-powered model, which Mayman refers to as an air utility vehicle, is expected to have a 1,000-pound payload and be able to fly up to 400 miles at over 500 mph in a variety of applications including cargo deliveries and military logistics.

The LOI builds on a partnership forged with the California-based manufacturer in July under which Savback became the exclusive distributor for the Speeder in the Nordic countries.
