What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-07-30

Track; not yet

Why
Company just cleared a real regulatory gate (Part 135) confirmed across multiple outlets, but the BVLOS capability implied by one single outlet is contradicted by another's more explicit reporting, and zero commercial deliveries have happened yet — too early to score as adopted infrastructure.
Next
Re-check in Q4 2026 for (a) BVLOS approval status, (b) first live in-house drone delivery to a real customer, and (c) any published fleet/payload/range specs — before considering any integration angle (e.g. last-mile fulfillment partnerships).
