Drone Delivery Canada Corp. (DDC) recently conducted a successful initial test of its next-generation Sparrow drone, which will be commercialized as the Canary. It is expected to have a range of approximately 20km+ and a cargo capacity of 4.5kg, but the flight range and cargo capacity of the Canary will be confirmed via future testing.
Features include a new motor configuration, next-generation smart battery technology, touchless cargo drop functionality, a future optional public announcement system and an optional aircraft parachute. This new functionality is expected to unlock potential customer use-cases and facilitate future flights over people to open new, commercially addressable future markets in urban and residential areas for B2B and B2C retail residential deliveries.
Initial tests included avionics system configuration, communications with the FLYTE management system, communications with the next generation smart battery system, propulsion system (motor spin/direction) testing, and onboard sensor testing.
