Our portfolio company Skyways was recently featured on Tectonic’s Valley of Depth podcast, with Isaac Roberts, Chief Strategy Officer at Skyways, joining from the company’s Austin facility to discuss the future of autonomous aviation and logistics.
For nearly a decade, Skyways has focused on autonomous logistics, developing aircraft designed to move critical supplies over long distances without putting people in harm’s way. Its next-generation V3 is designed to carry 100 pounds of payload up to 1,000 nautical miles, advancing capabilities with applications across defense and commercial logistics.
In the episode, Isaac discusses Skyways’ path into the Department of Defense, the regulatory hurdles facing commercial drone adoption, lessons from operating in challenging environments, and the company’s broader vision for a global autonomous logistics network.
