DA Technology and V-Space Unveil New AAM Airframe for the First Time at CES 2024

DA Technology announced on the 27th that V Space will participate in 'CES2024,' held in Las Vegas, USA, from January 9 to 12 next year.

At this CES, V Space plans to unveil a new AAM (Advanced Air Mobility) aircraft for logistics cargo for the first time. As an unmanned cargo aircraft, it is equipped with 5G communication technology, intelligent batteries, and control systems, enabling autonomous and predictive navigation, with significant enhancements in performance and payload capacity.

In particular, DA Technology co-developed the intelligent battery with V Space, achieving the highest domestic standards in output and energy density. Based on the new cargo AAM aircraft, they are pursuing the acquisition of the aerospace quality management system (AS9100) certification for the first time in Korea.

The cargo AAM aircraft is classified as an ultralight flying device under 150kg without a pilot onboard, and according to current regulations, it can fly once safety certification is obtained. Used for last-mile delivery, unlike existing delivery drones with many restrictions, it is utilized for delivery between logistics centers, which is expected to accelerate commercialization.

V Space plans to use the cargo AAM aircraft for delivery between logistics centers and connect to existing delivery systems via land routes or future robot delivery such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) for the final customer.

A company official explained, "The aircraft to be unveiled this time is a logistics AAM for cargo purposes, differentiating it from existing manned aircraft," adding, "With significant improvements in performance and payload capacity, it is fully applicable in domestic environments with many apartment complexes and has the advantage of being able to fly in strong winds compared to existing small delivery drones."

He continued, "While Amazon is focusing on ultra-fast delivery to recover from poor performance, we plan to discover niche markets based on cargo AAM aircraft and introduce new logistics systems domestically and internationally."
