Yates Electrospace has developed a cargo delivery drone glider which can carry up to 1,631 lbs of cargo to deliver supplies to areas devastated by wars. YEC GD-2000 is carried, with wings folded, on a cargo plane or beneath a helicopter. It is released at altitudes up to 25,000 ft, where the wings fold out and the drone glides to its destination. It can currently only be used once, but Yates said a reusable version and reusable electric take-off and landing version were being developed.
