With a Payload to Fuel ratio of 4:1 compared to current cargo planes with anything up to a 1:4 ratio, Droneliner allows the use of sustainable fuels on the journey to Net Zero whilst still massively reducing operating costs.Removing people from the plane allows far more flexibility in engine placement and fuel management.

Droneliner can reduce the cost of airfreight by more than 70% and bring it down to levels comparable to sea freight whilst also reducing the delivery time and reducing emissions. It makes airfreight a viable option for many more goods.via/read more: Droneliner.
