MySky ECO, a U.S.-based leader in efficient aviation, and Airwayz, a global leader in Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) technology, have launched a joint venture to develop a next-generation long-range UAV system.

The project was selected for funding by the Space FloridaIsrael Innovation Partnership Program and is designed to demonstrate a fully autonomous drone platform capable of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations in regulated and complex airspaces across the United States.

The companies share a common mission to prove that unmanned aircraft can operate safely and efficiently alongside traditional aviation in real-world, high-traffic environments.

The system will integrate MySky’s MS-1D UAV platform, derived from its eco-efficient light aircraft technology, with Airwayz’ AI-based UTM software. The Airwayz platform enables real-time coordination of multiple drone fleets, dynamic airspace management, and safe coexistence with manned aircraft, enabled with strategic and tactical deconfliction capabilities.

Development is already underway, with flight testing targeted at the end of the year. The system will be evaluated across multiple high-impact use cases — including medical and organ transport, emergency and package delivery, search and rescue, and border reconnaissance — requiring a long-range, high-speed drone capable of operating from short or unimproved runway environments.
