According to jpost, the Rehevot-based drone company Gadfin is building a pioneering solution to respond to the Covid-19 Israeli pandemic. The company is preparing to deliver the Covid-19 vaccine and is equipping its drones with a compartment that meets the delivery requirements. The compartment can maintain a cooling time of -80 degrees Celsius for up to three hours.

This is our He continued: “Our goal is to build a new type of'air railway' that can deliver materials from point to point in any weather-safe, quiet, and reliable. This is unprecedented."

Gadfin is a leading company that provides automated drone delivery services between enterprises, hospitals and work centers. The company was established in 2018 and was the first company in Israel to implement the concept of delivering drones. Last year, the Civil Aviation Administration granted a license to use drones to transport cargo.

We call the first drone Spirit 1 capable of taking off and landing vertically in an area of three square meters. The drone.” Each flight can carry up to 16 vaccines, and another Spirit X can hold up to 400 vaccines. It is an ideal choice for remote areas of the country.
