“Moya Aero Unveils Family of Electric Cargo Drones”

Brazil­ian-based Moya Aero, a devel­op­er of car­go-car­ry­ing drones, announced this week its launch of its Elec­tric Drone Fam­i­ly, a plat­form designed to enhance mod­u­lar­i­ty, effi­cien­cy and scal­a­bil­i­ty in air logis­tics, reports a press release.

The fam­i­ly has two mod­els:-

: Moya 256

: Moya 760

The 256 is designed for quick response with mid-dis­tance capa­bil­i­ties of around 160 km. It is already under­go­ing test flights. The 760, whose pro­to­type is cur­rent­ly under devel­op­ment, will reach up to 190 km. The com­pa­ny will man­u­fac­ture these eVTOL mod­els based on a com­mon frame­work and shared elec­tric archi­tec­ture. They are to be employed for var­i­ous mis­sions rang­ing from urgent med­ical trans­port to indus­tri­al sup­ply chains.

Alexan­dre Zaramela, CEO of Moya Aero, com­ment­ed, “By cre­at­ing a fam­i­ly of drones that share com­mon fea­tures, we allow our cus­tomers to scale their oper­a­tions with­out incur­ring addi­tion­al costs or need­ing exten­sive train­ing.”

The release explains, “The Moya fam­i­ly pro­vides inter­op­er­abil­i­ty in fleet oper­a­tions, sim­pli­fied main­te­nance process­es and quick­er deploy­ments across diverse geo­graph­ic and indus­tri­al envi­ron­ments. The ground soft­ware, bat­tery mod­ules and flight sys­tems are uni­fied across the plat­form, ensur­ing unpar­al­leled effi­cien­cy and reli­a­bil­i­ty in the emerg­ing low-alti­tude logis­tics sec­tor.” It con­tin­ues, “All mod­els are ful­ly elec­tric, designed for qui­et oper­a­tion and reduced emis­sions, align­ing with glob­al efforts to decar­bonise the sup­ply chain.”

Back­ground

Moya Aero was found­ed in 2020 and is a spin-off of ACS Avi­a­tion, a Brazil­ian aero­nau­ti­cal engi­neer­ing, air­craft research and devel­op­ment com­pa­ny locat­ed in São José dos Cam­pos. 

Com­pa­ny investors include Seed4Science, Hards and Tech­stars. Its part­ners are Helisul Drones, ProAero and Cer­ti­fi­ca Drones. Moya also has the sup­port of FINEP an organ­i­sa­tion of the Brazil­ian fed­er­al gov­ern­ment under the Min­istry of Sci­ence of Tech­nol­o­gy in devel­op­ing its pro­to­type.
