Colorado-based PteroDynamics has partnered with Cornes Technologies to bring its cutting-edge Transwing UAS to Japan. The exclusive distribution deal marks a significant milestone in Japan’s rapidly expanding drone market, with both companies set to collaborate on marketing, sales, and support initiatives.

The partnership is a testament to the growing demand for advanced drones in Japan, particularly in the commercial and defense sectors. According to industry estimates, the Japanese government has been actively promoting the integration of drones into its defense and commercial applications, creating a vast market ripe for innovative solutions like PteroDynamics’ Transwing UAS.

The Transwing is an exemplary case of technological innovation, combining the best aspects of both VTOL and fixed-wing drone platforms to create an efficient, automated, and highly versatile aircraft.
