ACUASI Adds Heavy-Lift Drones for Cargo and Emergency Trials
ACUASI cargo drone trials: Windracers ULTRA aircraft added to fleet to test cargo delivery and emergency operations.
The University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration (ACUASI) has added two large-payload Windracers ULTRA drones to its fleet.
The aircraft will be used for testing cargo delivery and emergency response operations across Alaska’s challenging terrain.
The twin-engine ULTRA aircraft arrived in Fairbanks on September 22, with the first flight under full ACUASI control conducted on October 1 at the program’s Nenana airport hangar.
Both aircraft are now fully operational.
The ULTRA has a wingspan of 31 feet, a range of about 600 miles, and a cargo capacity of 200 pounds.
Its three cargo drop doors and ability to take off from dirt, grass, ice, or tarmac make it well suited for Alaska’s remote and varied environments.
We are excited to have these aircraft in our fleet.
