Skyways Secures $37 Million US Air Force Contract to Rapidly Scale Autonomous Cargo Drones

▤ Summary

Skyways won a $37 million contract from the U.S. Air Force’s AFWERX to move its V3 autonomous cargo aircraft from prototype to full-rate production. The company will use the money to improve its autonomy stack, finalize the production design, and ramp manufacturing. Skyways plans to deploy thousands of aircraft across defense and commercial use cases and wants to make its platform a program of record for unmanned aerial logistics. The company says its V2 aircraft already flies cargo missions, while V3 adds higher payload, longer range, and more flight time.
