Aerial Solutions: Small UAVs for Healthcare and Disaster Relief. Healthcare providers and disaster relief responders depend on costly, slow, and unreliable transportation by motorcycles, cars, and trucks to serve remote communities. One billion people live all or part of the year without access to all-weather roads. We are developing a UAV with vertical take-off and landing capabilities that can autonomously transport 2 kg over 60-km to provide affordable, fast, and reliable delivery of vital goods to isolated areas, both on a regular basis and in times of crisis.
