Arabian Development & Marketing Company Inks Deal with Sabrewing Aircraft to Purchase 53 “Rhaegal-A” VTOL Air Cargo Drones

OXNARD, Calif., Nov. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a joint announcement today between Arabian Development and Marketing Corporation (ADMC) and Sabrewing Aircraft Company, Inc., the two companies stated that ADMC had ordered 53 of the record–breaking heavy–lift cargo uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV). This event comes on the heels of Sabrewing's Rhaegal–A "Alpha" aircraft's first world record breaking flight.

"We had a phenomenal response to our first flight announcement," said Ed De Reyes, CEO of Sabrewing. "We are meeting our customers' requests of carrying large volumes of cargo while lifting heavy payloads of weight."

This September, Sabrewing announced that it had flown its first flight with a record–breaking 829 pound/374 kg payload "" the most for any commercial cargo UAV. According to De Reyes, the Rhaegal–A has continued to fly and lift heavy payloads as part of its final development program.

ADMC currently has 128 orders for Sabrewing's Rhaegal–B "Bravo" aircraft, that is capable of lifting 5,400 pounds/2,450 kg vertically and up to 10,000 pounds/4,535 kg conventionally. Both the "Alpha" and "Bravo" models are capable of taking off vertically. They are the only cargo UAV capable of taking off both vertically and conventionally (as a fixed–wing aircraft).

De Reyes continued, "Because we already have the molds, hardware, software and avionics from our first aircraft, we've completed the majority of the development work on the Alpha model aircraft. We were looking for a launch customer to start production. ADMC found customers who were interested in buying and leasing the cargo UAV. We had an overwhelming response to our first flight, and interest skyrocketed from day one of the announcement."

De Reyes added, "On our very first flight, we carried a payload that beat the highest planned payload capacity of the closest competitor by almost 500 pounds, and with over four times more volume than the closest competitors. Since our first payload was only about one–third of what we can carry, we knew it was going to attract a lot of customers who have the need to carry a ton or more of cargo in a large cargo bay."

Ayman Zeibak, General Manager of ADMC, noted, "We are the first launch customer for the Bravo aircraft, ordering 128 of Sabrewing's Rhaegal–B "Bravo" aircraft valued at over 768 million. We now have a mix of highly versatile aircraft to lease to our African and Middle Eastern customers."

Zeibak noted, "The Sabrewing Alpha is just the right size for some of the smaller air cargo companies who don't have contracts with FedEx, DHL or another major carrier, but have the need to carry 1000 kilos of bulk cargo to remote locations on a regular basis."

This launch order represents an additional 260 million in revenue for Sabrewing, as well as the launch of an additional product line. De Reyes also said that they expect to begin delivering the first Alpha models for type certification testing by the beginning of the 3rd quarter of 2023.

About Sabrewing Aircraft Company
Sabrewing Aircraft Company was founded in 2016 and built the prototype aircraft in Hayward, California. The Sabrewing team has over 98 years of aircraft design and manufacturing experience, and the flight test team has over 145 years of flight test and certification experience with the FAA, EASA, CAA, Air Transport Canada, and several other regulatory agencies. Sabrewing's d development partners have provided an additional 46 engineers of all disciplines, making the Rhaegal aircraft the best–designed, best–in–class vehicles in the sky.

"The Global 8000 aircraft leverages the outstanding attributes of the Global 7500 aircraft, providing our customers with a flagship aircraft of a new era. We remain unmatched, which for an innovation–focused team like us, is great."

Some of the impressive performance capabilities of the new Global 8000 aircraft were witnessed as early as May 2021, following a demonstration flight with a Global 7500 flight test vehicle. The aircraft, accompanied by a NASA F/A–18 chase plane, repeatably achieved speeds in excess of Mach 1.015, a key step in enabling a maximum Mach operating speed (MMO) of M0.94 and becoming the fastest business jet in the world and the fastest in civil aviation since the Concorde. During the demonstration flight, the aircraft also became the first Transport Category airplane to fly supersonic with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The discerning Global 8000 business jet also features the healthiest cabin in the industry, with the lowest cabin altitude in its class of 2,900 feet when flying at 41,000 ft. It is also equipped with Bombardier's Pr Air and advanced HEPA filter technology for the cleanest cabin air and the fastest fresh air replacement.

The Global 8000 aircraft is the only true four–zone cabin business jet to have a range of 8,000 nautical miles "" and it more than delivers even when it comes to comfort. With its spacious four personalized suites ergonomically designed to maximize space and freedom of movement, the Global 8000 aircraft also incorporates the revolutionary features introduced on the Global 7500 aircraft that dramatically improve passenger comfort, including the Soleil circadian lighting system to help combat jet lag. Coupled with the innovative Nuage seat with the first–ever zero gravity position, passengers will arrive at their destinations revitalized and refreshed.

An exemplary commitment to detail is assured on the new Global 8000 aircraft, including an available Principal Suite with a full–size bed and a stand–up shower in the En–suite. Revolutionary cabin entertainment control and connectivity, the intuitive nice Touch CMS and OLED touch dial, Bombardier's l'Opra directional audio sound system and available 4K monitor, also ensures passengers will receive an unrivalled cabin experience.

In the cockpit, the Global 8000 aircraft features the renowned Bombardier Vision flight deck with its next generation fly–by–wire technology and blend of cutting–edge avionics with exceptional ergonomics and aesthetics for remarkable comfort and control.

Performance–wise, the new Global 8000 aircraft can efficiently transport customers to a wide variety of destinations both faster and farther than ever before. And with its exceptional class–leading range and short–field performance, even more exclusive city pairs are now achievable, including Dubai–Houston, Singapore–Los Angeles, London–Perth and many others.

Expected to enter service in 2025, the Global 8000 aircraft development is ongoing, and the program is progressing to plan. And for current Global 7500 operators, the incredible performance enhancements on the Global 8000 will be retrofittable when the aircraft enters into service in 2025.

The introduction of the new Global 8000 aircraft has been a carefully planned investment that further strengthens Bombardier's impressive portfolio of industry–defining business jets. Development to date has been included in previously disclosed investment figures. All further development costs will be included in Bombardier's capex, which remains in line with its 2025 objectives.
