Our Mission

We strive for equality in access to infrastructure and comforts of the modern world. It is a right, not a privilege. For centuries, people gravitated towards cities in search of benefits that urban life provides. We built Escalante to enable rapid access to physical goods wherever one chose to reside. It is time to connect the material world the way we did the information one

The Technology

Our Fleet

To ensure safe and precise delivery of goods at ranges over 60km Escalante designed an aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities and efficient winged-flight while en route.

Fully electric proprietary autonomous drones

Controlled by cloud-based software, no pilot required

Cruise speed 120 km/h

Payload 3 kg

Range 120 km

Safety first: aircrafts are designed with multiple levels of redundancy to exceed the European Union civil aviation rules and regulations.

Ground Terminals

At the heart of Escalante’s operation lies a modular delivery ground terminal located at the outskirts of a city. It is a climate-controlled and secure space fitted with an operator workspace, aircraft storage units, charging stations, radio and telemetry equipment and control servers.

A terminal is run by one operator

Monthly capacity of single ground terminal exceeds 2100 deliveries

One ground terminal hosts up to 15 aircrafts

Every launch is authorized by a trained operator using biometrics to ensure safety. All operating staff undergo rigorous competency-based, theoretical and practical training specific to their duties.

Cloud Software

The Escalante fleet is managed from the cloud. Our proprietary mission control software connects all the terminals to form a highly-accessible network. It is built to reliably:

Orchestrate orders among clients, merchants and delivery infrastructure

Provide automated mission routing in accordance with landscape, weather and local regulations

Manage fleet condition and service requirements

The software is designed in a manner that guarantees safe flight and operational control even in case of connectivity loss.

How it Works

You order dinner

The restaurant prepares it

Then a courier brings it to the nearest Escalante ground terminal

The operator loads it into a drone

The drone delivers the order right into your yard using a winch

Serving the Community

Bringing rapid delivery outside city limits we raise living standards and residential attractiveness of remote areas

Air delivery greatly expands the addressable audience of local businesses like shops and cafes

Ground terminals offer modern jobs and business opportunities in smaller towns of the EU

Not a Science Fiction Anymore

The European unmanned traffic management system (U‑Space) is due to launch in January 2023, offering the required infrastructure for regular commercial drone operation. Air delivery is thought to become widespread as soon as 2025 lowering logistics costs 30-fold

Unmanned aerial delivery is no longer a question of when. It is happening right now. According to the research held by EASA, 84% of the EU residents approve the introduction of drone delivery technologies

$ 55 000 000 00055 billion dollars — is the estimated drone delivery market size by 2027 according to experts
