KDE Direct Drone Motors on Display at The Smithsonian

The Flirtey drone used to make the first Federal Aviation Administration-approved drone delivery in the U.S. last year during the Remote Area Medical Clinic in Wise, Virginia, has been accepted into the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.

The Flirtey F3.0 hexacopter joins other notable aircraft such as the Space Shuttle Discovery, the SR-71 Blackbird and the first aircraft operated by FedEx.

Not only are Flirtey’s first rural and urban drone deliveries big steps for the industry itself, their drones are outfitted with KDE Direct motors. KDE is excited to be included in the monumental steps Flirtey is taking towards autonomous drone delivery in the United States.
