Our AirMule prototype has recently resumed its flight testing after a systems and structural upgrade that lasted 4 months. The vehicle is now flying with an expanded sensors suite and the new, energy absorbing wheeled landing gear. This landing gear has been tested and shown to accommodate the full spectrum of the FAA's FAR 27 landing requirements. In addition, aerodynamic improvements were made at the vehicle's lower fuselage for improving its control response in gusty wind conditions. Initial results from the tests look very promising.

In parallel to the continued testing effort, we are now working to secure additional funding that will carry us through the next few years and up to full scale development and production.

We will update you in our next update on the results from the present testing phase and/or once we have news regarding our multi-year program plans.
