24 Dec 2024 CW Team

The Indian Armed Forces have taken a significant step toward modernizing their logistical operations with the deployment of BonV Aero’s Air Orca eVTOL (Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing) drones. These advanced transport drones are now being used to support troops stationed at remote, high-altitude border posts, especially during the harsh winter months.

Designed to tackle the unique challenges of mountainous and snowbound terrains, the Air Orca is poised to revolutionise how essential supplies are delivered to the front lines in some of the most inaccessible regions of India.

The Air Orca is a medium-sized, transport-class eVTOL designed specifically for high-altitude operations. It can carry payloads of up to 30 kilograms, making it ideal for transporting vital supplies such as food, medicine, and equipment to remote military posts.

Engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, the Air Orca ensures reliable performance even in blizzards, fog, or strong winds. With cutting-edge navigation technology, it can traverse rugged terrains where traditional transport methods are often impeded by road blockages, snow, or other logistical challenges.

Satyabarata Sathapathy, CEO and Co-founder of BonV Aero, said, “Our troops face harsh conditions while serving the nation. The Air Orca ensures uninterrupted supply of essential goods even in areas that are difficult to access.”
