SAMAD Aerospace begins certification process of its Starling Cargo eVTOL aircraft

SAMAD Aero­space has con­firmed it has start­ed the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion process of its Star­ling Car­go air­craft.

With a cruis­ing speed of 95mph, flight ceil­ing of 10,000ft and a range of up to 135 miles, the Star­ling Car­go will enable flex­i­ble point to point air car­go of up to 50kg pay­load. It will be remote­ly pilot­ed with auto pilot capa­bil­i­ty.

Dr. Seyed Mohseni, CEO of SAMAD Aero­space, said: “Our ful­ly elec­tric VTOL Star­ling Car­go air­craft will change the future of trans­porta­tion reduc­ing emis­sions and car­bon foot­print of air car­go.”

The SAMAD Aero­space team have seen inter­est in its Star­ling Car­go air­craft from a num­ber of indus­try sec­tors that need to tran­sit high val­ue car­go.  These include oil and gas cor­po­ra­tions, gem­stone min­ing com­pa­nies, med­ical logis­tics and emer­gency response com­pa­nies. 

The Star­ling Car­go air­craft can also be utilised for deliv­er­ing human­i­tar­i­an crit­i­cal car­go of des­per­ate­ly need­ed food, med­i­cine and equip­ment remote regions of the world, which has under­de­vel­oped or dam­aged local infra­struc­ture.

Avail­able to pre-order now for deliv­ery in Q4 2022, the Star­ling Car­go will offer an air car­go option faster than con­ven­tion­al trav­el by util­is­ing loca­tions much clos­er to the customer’s required point of depar­ture and des­ti­na­tion, includ­ing remote loca­tions. 

With the Star­ling Car­go air­craft, SAMAD Aero­space will rev­o­lu­tionise the way goods fly around the world, mak­ing air car­go faster, green­er and more sus­tain­able.

Backed by investors and work­ing in part­ner­ship with gov­ern­ments, avi­a­tion reg­u­la­tors and spe­cial­ist sup­pli­ers, SAMAD Aero­space is devel­op­ing a range of inno­v­a­tive, ver­ti­cal take-off and land­ing (VTOL) elec­tric and hybrid-elec­tric civ­il air­craft to enable point-to-point air trav­el.

Samad Aero­space is now one of the top ten com­pa­nies in the world that has built and test­ed mul­ti­ple pro­to­types of its VTOL con­cept. The com­pa­ny is open­ing its next round of fund rais­ing to start cer­ti­fi­ca­tion pro­gram of its air­craft.
