The nascent delivery drone sector is already home to a number of highly innovative products, but the Hylio startup is looking to well and truly stand out with the introduction of the Pegasus, a drone that is unique in that it offers a substantial payload of 1.1 kg as well as a healthy range of 6.4 kilometers.
This delivery drone is equipped with GPS technology that helps it navigate to its destination, with delivery coordinators able to make use a companion smartphone app to program in destinations and routes. The drone itself features substantial use of carbon fiber and aircraft-grade aluminum, allowing for optimized range and stable flight.
The Pegasus drone is the kind of innovation that should have traditional mail delivery services quaking in their boots, as it promises efficient and ultra-fast deliveries.
