AKSI Aerospace Group has launched its cargo drone Skyshipper as an industry-ready unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for commercial, medical and industrial logistics applications at Wings India 2026. Skyshipper has been developed under Slatup Cargo, the cargo drone division of AKSI Aerospace Group, as part of the company’s Make in India initiative.
The multi-rotor UAV is engineered for advanced logistics missions, with a maximum take-off weight of approximately 52 kg, including a payload capacity of up to 30 kg. It offers a flight endurance of up to 45 minutes, enabling extended-range operations with high efficiency.
Structural strength
Built using aerospace-grade carbon fibre composites and precision-engineered aluminium from AKSI’s composite manufacturing arm, Roboclave Smart AI Composite Technologies, the platform combines lightweight construction with structural strength, ensuring reliable performance in demanding operating environments.
According to the company, Skyshipper is equipped with its proprietary KKA Autopilot, developed in-house, which powers navigation and flight control.
The platform features logistics-mode firmware with geo-fencing, dynamic load-aware flight limits and redundant safety constraints, ensuring secure and DGCA-compliant cargo operations, according to a release.
