University of Alaska Fairbanks purchases Windracers ULTRAs to test resupply delivery

Windracers CEO Simon Muderack said the company's aircraft will serve ACUASI well. "Windracers is immensely proud that UAF has chosen ULTRA to meet their need for air cargo delivery services that can reliably fly in difficult weather and at a much lower cost to support very isolated communities with everyday essentials," Muderack said.

"Windracers ULTRA is uniquely suited to support ACUASI through its multi-mission capability and its polar pedigree from Antarctic mission experience in January 2024," he said. "The Windracers team looks forward to growing partnership with UAF and ACUASI, delivering on their mission of testing supply to remote communities in Alaska."

With a payload of over 100kg and a range of up to 1,000 km, Windracers ULTRA is the world's most accomplished long-distance heavily-lift drone available today and is dual-use for civilian and defence purposes. Windracers ULTRA has flown countless beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) missions for customers in support the most diverse set of use cases, including troop resupply and aerial reconnaissance in Ukraine, aerial geological and wildlife survey in the Antarctic, parcel delivery to islands off the Scottish and English coasts and parachute resupply of medical supplies in Africa.
