EntSun News/10786117
LIVERMORE, Calif. - EntSun -- New Frontier Aerospace (NFA), builders of fast jet drones for cargo, military and other uses recently completed the competitively selected F³ Tech pre-accelerator – winning a $3,000 mini-grant from the program.
NFA's autonomous vertical takeoff and landing jet drone technology, combines the best features of a helicopter and a jet airplane. It can deliver same day parcels – transport perishable pharmaceuticals and vaccines to patients in need – deliver supplies to the troops, track smugglers far out at sea - all twice as fast as conventional drone technology.
"We see value in NFA's concept – and wanted to support a technology with the potential to deliver high priority cargoes faster than conventional drones", said Mike Thielke, Executive Director of Maryland's Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center, which manages the F³ program.
"This grant will help us get our jet drone prototype in the air – and show government and commercial customers what fast drone technology can do for them", said NFA CEO, Bill Bruner.
