Best-in-class Economics

The Landing Station is designed to swap a battery and insert a package into the Matternet Drone in under 60 seconds, achieving best-in-class turnaround time and maximizing aircraft utilization. It charges batteries in a temperature-controlled environment, maximizing their life. Built to last for at least 5 years with minimal maintenance, it incurs annual costs of less than 10% of the cost of a human operator.

With minimal real estate needs, the Landing Station can be conveniently installed at customer locations — next to a lab or clinic entrance, or behind a pharmacy or restaurant. These stations, distributed in cities and suburbs, power Matternet's decentralized logistics network, eliminating the need for costly centralized drone hubs and improving unit economics by avoiding delivery dead legs.
