FlightWave Aerospace Systems, Inc. has announced a strategic relationship with AeroVironment. The relationship will enable AeroVironment to incorporate FlightWave’s patented Edge VTOL system technology in AeroVironment’s next generation family of UAS offerings.
“We are thrilled to work with AeroVironment, the leading manufacturer in the industry,” said Edmund Cronin, chief marketing officer at FlightWave Aerospace. “The Edge’s novel VTOL technology enables it to take off and land anywhere without the assistance of additional infrastructure, which means there are no limits when it comes to remote locations.
