Washington, D.C. (September 9, 2019) – Flirtey, the pioneer of the commercial drone delivery industry, has
unveiled the Flirtey Eagle, the world’s most advanced drone delivery technology today with Senator Cortez
Masto (D-NV) at The National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The company has released the much-anticipated
first video of its next-generation delivery drone performing consumer and automated external defibrillator
(AED) deliveries to customer homes.
“We are thrilled to now reveal Flirtey’s industry-leading technology to the world. We expect Flirtey’s advanced
drone delivery system will become the industry standard in America,” said Matthew Sweeny, Flirtey Founder
and CEO. “Flirtey’s technology has unique capabilities unavailable from any other aircraft manufacturer to
enable first-movers to capture market share in their industries. Flirtey’s latest technology makes life-saving
and commercial drone delivery to homes in the United States an imminent reality.”
Along with improving lifestyles by delivering on-demand perishables and goods, Flirtey drones take delivery
vehicles off the roads, greatly lessening CO2 emissions from our atmosphere and increasing the overall safety
of the transport system. Flirtey and the City of Reno were selected into the FAA and Department of
Transportation’s highly competitive Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Integration Pilot Program (IPP), in which
only ten locations in the U.S. were selected to participate. Within the IPP, Flirtey and the City of Reno have
partnered with REMSA, local emergency medical services provider, to deliver AEDs to those in need. Flirtey’s
AED delivery technology has the potential to save 150,000 lives per year.
Based on demand from customers, Flirtey expects demand to outstrip supply initially. Flirtey’s drone delivery
system was designed from the outset to meet the anticipated high demand. Flirtey’s aircraft is made in the
U.S.A. Flirtey technology is protected by more than 25 patents issued and pending in the U.S. and worldwide.
