On July 17, 2015, Flirtey made history with the first drone delivery in the U.S., delivering 24 packages of medical supplies in Virginia.
The research flights took place in partnership with Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership at Virginia Tech, Remote Area Medical, including NASA’s Langley Research Center.
Governor of Virginia Terry McAuliffe received the first package at the event, which will be remembered as a Kitty Hawk moment in the history of drone delivery.
