Autonomous Cargo Drone Maker Expands Production Capacity
Elroy Air, a leading developer of autonomous heavy-cargo drones, is set to become a publicly traded company through a business combination with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp VI, a special purpose acquisition company. The deal values Elroy Air at $800 million pre-money and has more than $165 million in committed PIPE capital, which will be used to accelerate production and meet rising demand from both commercial and defense tech markets. The company’s autonomous cargo drone, Chaparral, has a demand pipeline exceeding 1,400 aircraft and over $5 billion in potential revenue opportunity. This development was reported by Financial Times.
