RapidFlight achieves key milestone in $10 million Air Force drone program

RapidFlight has completed a key milestone in its $10 million contract with the U.S. Air Force, demonstrating the SPX unmanned aircraft's full operational capability in under 90 days. This achievement includes design, manufacturing, and training for USAF personnel. The SPX was developed to meet specific mission requirements and underwent a successful three-day training program, followed by flights operated by the Air Force. This marks a significant advancement in RapidFlight's role in military modernization efforts. This project follows a June 2024 announcement of RapidFlight's task to deliver customizable drones for urgent defense needs. The SPX is now positioned as a deployable asset for the U.S. and its allies.
