In its latest move toward adopting autonomous cargo transport operations, Ameriflight has provisionally agreed to purchase up to 35 Rhaegal-A VTOL cargo drones from Sabrewing Aircraft Company. The company announced it had signed a letter of intent covering the purchase of the cargo drone fleet on February 15.
Ameriflight, which is based in Texas, is the largest Part 135 cargo airline in the United States. In recent years the company has been taking steps to introduce autonomous and semi-autonomous flight technology into its fleet, partly in response to the ongoing pilot shortage. Just last month, Ameriflight announced plans to purchase 20 autonomous freighter aircraft from Natilus. The company is also working with Merlin Labs to convert its existing fleet of Cessna Grand Caravans to have autonomous flight capabilities using Merlin’s so-called “drop-in” autonomy kit.
