In a recent joint announcement between Arabian Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMC) and Sabrewing Aircraft Company<\/a>, Inc., the two companies stated that ADMC had ordered 53 of the record-breaking heavy-lift cargo uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV). This event comes on the heels of Sabrewing\u2019s Rhaegal-A \u201cAlpha\u201d aircraft\u2019s first world record breaking flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a phenomenal response to our first flight\nannouncement,\u201d said Ed De Reyes, CEO of Sabrewing. \u201cWe are meeting our\ncustomers\u2019 requests of carrying large volumes of cargo while lifting heavy\npayloads of weight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This September, Sabrewing announced that it had flown its\nfirst flight with a record-breaking 829 pound\/374 kg payload \u2013 the most for any\ncommercial cargo UAV. According to De Reyes, the Rhaegal-A has continued to fly\nand lift heavy payloads as part of its final development program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADMC currently has 128 orders for Sabrewing\u2019s Rhaegal-B\n\u201cBravo\u201d aircraft, that is capable of lifting 5,400 pounds\/2,450 kg vertically\nand up to 10,000 pounds\/4,535 kg conventionally. Both the \u201cAlpha\u201d and \u201cBravo\u201d\nmodels are capable of taking off vertically. They are the only cargo UAV\ncapable of taking off both vertically and conventionally (as a fixed-wing\naircraft). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Reyes continued, \u201cBecause we already have the molds,\nhardware, software and avionics from our first aircraft, we\u2019ve completed the\nmajority of the development work on the Alpha model aircraft. We were looking\nfor a launch customer to start production. ADMC found customers who were\ninterested in buying and leasing the cargo UAV. We had an overwhelming response\nto our first flight, and interest skyrocketed from day one of the\nannouncement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Reyes added, \u201cOn our very first flight, we carried a\npayload that beat the highest planned payload capacity of the closest\ncompetitor by almost 500 pounds, and with over four times more volume than the\nclosest competitors. Since our first payload was only about one-third of what\nwe can carry, we knew it was going to attract a lot of customers who have the\nneed to carry a ton or more of cargo in a large cargo bay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ayman Zeibak, General Manager of ADMC, noted, \u201cWe are the\nfirst launch customer for the Bravo aircraft, ordering 128 of Sabrewing\u2019s\nRhaegal-B \u201cBravo\u201d aircraft valued at over \u20ac768 million. We now have a mix of\nhighly versatile aircraft to lease to our African and Middle Eastern\ncustomers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeibak noted, \u201cThe Sabrewing Alpha is just the right size\nfor some of the smaller air cargo companies who don\u2019t have contracts with\nFedEx, DHL or another major carrier, but have the need to carry 1000 kilos of\nbulk cargo to remote locations on a regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This launch order represents an additional \u20ac260 million in\nrevenue for Sabrewing, as well as the launch of an additional product line. De\nReyes also said that they expect to begin delivering the first Alpha models for\ntype certification testing by the beginning of the 3rd quarter of 2023.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
