North Carolina Department of Transportation – Division of Aviation

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is responsible for building, repairing, and operating highways, bridges, and other modes of transportation, including aviation in the U.S. state of North Carolina.

The Division of Aviation’s mission is to promote the economic well being of North Carolina through air transportation system development and improved aviation safety and education. Included in their mission is to support the integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS).

Elroy Air

At Elroy Air our mission is to improve quality of life around the planet by expanding the reach of expedited logistics via air cargo – safely, efficiently and autonomously. Our air cargo system features rotor-based vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and transitions to wing-based cruise flight for long range. We have designed a holistic logistics system with integrated flight and ground operations that make our vehicles a safe, efficient way to transport cargo by air.

US Cargo Systems
US Cargo Systems is a worldwide leader in the design and development of Cargo Handling and Aerial Delivery Systems. We are proud of our over 70 year heritage serving countless commercial and military aircraft customers with leading edge technologies.

Whether the need is for smart, lightweight and robust cargo handling, or flight critical complex systems, we have field proven solutions.

 Maynooth University

Maynooth University is an internationally recognised institution located 25 kilometres outside of Dublin, Ireland, and is the nation’s fastest growing university.

One of four constituent universities of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth University in 2017 placed in the global top 50 universities under 50 years old in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

On 16 June 2017, Maynooth University celebrated its 20th birthday, having been formally established as an autonomous university in 1997. Yet, it traces its origins to the foundation of the Royal College of St. Patrick in 1795, drawing inspiration from a heritage that includes over 200 years of education and scholarship.

Korea Aerospace Research Institute

Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) is a specialized institution founded for national development through the research and development of aerospace scientific technologies.

In the aviation field, we have developed core parts for civilian and military application to develop Korean models of helicopters and the world’s first tiltrotor UAV that is capable of vertical takeoff and landing and high-speed flight.

Animal Dynamics

At Animal Dynamics we develop the most efficient and useful vehicles and systems that perform beyond anything currently found in nature or engineering.

What motivates us is our drive to create original and worthwhile solutions to real problems.

To achieve this we research the underlying principles of natural systems and marry these with the latest engineering techniques, materials and processes.

We design super-efficient systems inspired by the deep study of evolutionary biomechanics.

Dronamics

To democratize air freight and accelerate e-commerce in emerging markets, DRONAMICS is developing the world-leading cargo UAV “The Black Swan” – a fixed-wing aircraft that can transport 350 kg at a distance of 2,500 km cheaper than any aircraft in existence.

VillageReach. We focus on solutions that address the most critical barriers to improving health outcomes in these environments: healthcare accessibility, human resource constraints, information availability, and lack of infrastructure.

With support from partners and donors, VillageReach provides the data, tools, learning and support to empower key institutional stakeholders, including governments and global health partners, to implement change and take innovation through to scale and sustainability.

North Carolina’s Southeast is a regional economic development partnership representing 18 counties that generates new economic growth in the region. Located midway on the U.S. east coast, North Carolina’s Southeast region is home to an international port, six universities, and more than 75 international firms across diverse business sectors. Our organization assists and supports national globally oriented businesses interested in expanding or relocating operations to a highly cost-competitive location in southeastern North Carolina.

Sabrewing Aircraft is building a new generation of heavy-lift commercial UAV cargo drones.
