About this role
Our company What if an aircraft could fly without a pilot, land almost anywhere and transport cargo over thousands of kilometers at a fraction of the fuel and time required today? We didn’t just ask ourselves this question. We made it a reality. Dronamics is an European aerospace company and our “Black Swan” is the first cargo drone of its kind licensed to fly in Europe and the only one in its class. Remotely piloted, extremely fuel-efficient and capable of taking off and landing on short, unprepared runways, it connects places that airplanes and trucks reach with difficulty, slowly, or at great expense.
In addition to logistics, the “Black Swan” has applications in civil defense, public safety, and national security. This proven technology has the potential to transform entire economies as well as defend territories. When we started, no one believed it was possible. That’s why we named it “Black Swan.” Today, it is designed, built, and tested in Bulgaria by a team of over 12 nationalities and continues to evolve into new configurations. And you can be among those who fly it.
