Germany’s First Long-Range Drone Deliveries Reach Offshore Wind Turbines
Skyports, RWE, and Skyways have completed Germany’s first long-range offshore drone delivery trial to wind turbines at the Arkona Wind Farm.
The three-week demonstration proved how drones can improve the offshore supply chain, reducing delivery time to under 30 minutes, compared to over an hour by boat.
This approach offered a faster and more flexible way to move light cargo in challenging conditions, allowing flights to be booked on demand.
The test marks a new step in using autonomous aircraft to support offshore operations.
- Reduced delivery time to under 30 minutes
- Allowed flights to be booked on demand
