Bulgaria-Based DRONAMICS Announces Partnership with Cotesa to Produce Cargo Drones in Europe
Jerusalem, 13 September, 2022 (TPS) -- Bulgaria-based cargo drone developer and operator DRONAMICS has announced its strategic manufacturing partnership with COTESA, a European manufacturer of high-quality composite fiber components for aerospace and automotive companies. The partnership is focused on manufacturing the Black Swan, the only cargo UAV that can carry 350 kg up to 2,500 km.
The agreement will ensure that the production of the DRONAMICS’ cargo drones supports the demand for commercial routes to be launched in Europe in 2023.
DRONAMICS recently became the first drone cargo company to obtain a European drone airline license.
The company has numerous awards for innovations and is IATA’s single strategic partner as the holder of the EU’s Light Unmanned Aircraft Systems UAS Operator Certificate (LUC). The Certificate is the highest authorization currently achievable under European drone operations and the first one issued in the EU for middle-mile cargo operations.
The Black Swan will be manufactured at COTESA’s facilities in Germany
“We are delighted to have COTESA as a manufacturing partner in Europe. This agreement to produce the Black Swan in their German facility supports our promise to enable same day delivery for everyone, everywhere, and the start of DRONAMICS’ commercial operations as the first drone cargo airline on the continent next year,” says Svilen Rangelov, Co-Founder and CEO of DRONAMICS, as quoted on the company website.
Christian Bartsch, CEO of COTESA, is quoted as saying that “COTESA is proud to be a partner of DRONAMICS and supports the next step of their development. Based on our long experience and competence in the manufacturing of components and assemblies for civil aviation, COTESA is excited to partner with such an innovator in air mobility.”
COTESA is a leading manufacturer of high quality composite fiber components for aviation and automotive engineering. At three locations with more than 400 employees, it develops and manufactures customized solutions for components and assemblies.
