Hyderabad: AKSI Aerospace Group on Tuesday unveiled its new cargo drone platform, Skyshipper, at Wings India 2026, marking a significant step in the company’s expansion into unmanned aerial logistics solutions.
Developed under Slatup Cargo Drones, the Group’s cargo drone division, Skyshipper is an industry-ready unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed for commercial, medical and industrial logistics operations. The multi-rotor platform has a maximum take-off weight of 52 kg and can carry payloads of up to 30 kg, with a flight endurance of up to 45 minutes, enabling medium-range and time-sensitive cargo missions.
The drone is built using aerospace-grade carbon fibre composites and precision-engineered aluminium, combining lightweight construction with structural durability for operations across varied and demanding environments.
Alongside Skyshipper, the Group is also showcasing Skywing 90, a high-endurance quadcopter developed for military-grade reconnaissance and surveillance. Equipped with advanced stabilisation systems and high-performance imaging payloads, Skywing 90 is engineered for reliable performance in challenging operational conditions.
Both platforms are powered by KKA Autopilot, AKSI Aerospace Group’s proprietary flight control and navigation system. The system incorporates multiple safety features, including geo-fencing, dynamic load-aware flight limits and redundant safeguards to ensure secure and reliable operations. The drones also use dual smart lithium-ion battery packs with real-time telemetry, developed by LiHi Smart Batteries, a Group company, to enhance flight safety and mission reliability. At Wings India 2026, AKSI Aerospace Group is also highlighting its vertically integrated UAV manufacturing ecosystem. This includes advanced carbon composite manufacturing capabilities through its group firm, Roboclave Smart AI Composite Technologies, which supports automated composite layup, autoclave curing, CNC machining and AI-assisted quality control for both prototyping and large-scale UAV production.
