Using drones to deliver life-changing healthcare
|
|
In December 2018, on the dangerously isolated village of South River on Erronmango Island in Vanuatu, baby Joy - just a couple months old - received her first vital vaccine, delivered in a world-first by Swoop Aero's drone and aeromedical logistics network.
Co-founded by Eric Peck, a 30-year-old MBA graduate and former captain in the Air Force, Swoop Aero is transforming the way the world moves essential supplies at an economically efficient cost. Combining all the best practices in aviation from an 80-tonne aircraft and compressing it down into a 20-kilogram 3D printed, plastic airplane, has enabled the team to safely, reliably, and sustainably deliver life-changing medical supplies to those who need them most across the globe. |
