Our Take on DIGI

DIGI has extensive experience in the unmanned vehicle field - but not much in aerospace. The biggest hurdle for DIGI to overcome in order to bring their Droxi Air Taxi to market is the aerospace expertise required to design a smart solution to the eVTOL problem. DIGI has the resources and infrastructure in place for manufacturing advanced vehicles; this process must be shifted toward the flight space.
