AirMule completes its first autonomous flight

Issue No. 3 | February 1-15, 2016

On December 30, AirMule successfully completed its first autonomous, untethered flight at the Megiddo airfield in northern Israel. The company said it got permission from the CAA to fly in Megiddo and were able to set up a portable testing facility with full-time access to a small airfield.

The testing schedule in Megiddo includes plans for a demonstration of AirMule’s cargo delivery capability as well as a ‘beyond the line of sight’ flight along a path running through an adjacent, forested area. All in all, we expect that in 2016 we will finally be able to demonstrate some of AirMule’s unique capabilities.

Additionally, the test flight achieved ‘category 2’ certification for an export variant of the aircraft known as ‘Cormorant’, under the international Missile Technology Control Regime (MCTR), an important element in the eventual marketing of the aircraft.
