The electric VTOL-fixed wing drone for urgent medical delivery

The current average road transport speed in an urban node like London is less than 30km/h. The discernible acceleration of urbanisation will further decrease the average urban road transport speed with 30-50% in the next 3 years. Meanwhile many tasks like stock-keeping of blood and vaccines, and laboratory services are centralising for cost minimisation, thereby increasing both the number of transports and transport distances of urgent medical supplies. The result is that road logistics operators are no future-proof solution to assure in-time delivery of urgent medical supplies and currently holding back further centralisation of the healthcare sector. Avy has developed a medical delivery drone 'Äì the SkySaver - for the urgent transport of clinical specimens, blood and infusion bags, pharmaceutical supplies, drugs and vaccines from and to hospitals, laboratories and production facilities. The SkySaver is a highly cost-efficient solution and can assure on-demand and in-time delivery of urgent supplies in populated areas over a distance of 150km. The SkySaver will deliver on average 30% faster than road courier, during rush hours the SkySaver is even 60% faster, while the transport costs are less than conventional urgent road transport. The SkySaver is the breakthrough solution disrupting the medical distribution industry enabling fast, cost-efficient and zero-emission delivery of urgent supplies.
