About DropShip
DropShip is a hybrid autonomous cargo aircraft with a 1,600-pound maximum take-off weight and up to 550 pounds of usable payload. It launches from approximately 800 feet of dirt, gravel or other austere surface and carries cargo in a 58-cubic-foot bay.
The aircraft provides more than 1,000 miles of range with 450 pounds of cargo and over 40 hours of endurance with a light ISR payload. Mission modules support precision airdrop, sensing, communications relay and expeditionary power. Pyka offers the aircraft for logistics, defence and disaster response.
