th, 2021 – Wingcopter, the German developer, manufacturer and operator of unmanned delivery drones for commercial and humanitarian applications, has secured $22 million in Series A funding. Wingcopter will use the funds to strengthen its leadership in drone-based logistics, with a special focus on healthcare-related applications, including the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.

The current model, the Wingcopter 178 Heavy Lift, can be transported in both one and two directions, with a distance of up to 120 kilometers.

Pre-orders can already be placed.
In addition to selling drones, Wingcopter will rapidly expand its drone-delivery-as-a-service offering. These services allow customers to directly take advantage of Wingcopter’s cutting-edge technology and BVLOS track record (beyond the visual line of sight) of flight operations on five continents without having to own and maintain a fleet of drones, hire and train pilots or run operations themselves.
