50 Drones and Counting: SwissDrones Celebrates Milestone with SAIT

We’re thrilled to have handed over our 50th and 51st drones to Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), SAIT Applied Research and Innovation Services, recognized as one of Canada’s top research colleges in 2024!

SAIT is expanding their fleet with two brand new SDO 50 V3’s, complementing their existing SDO 50 V2. These industry-leading RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) will support SAIT’s focus on heavy-lift and beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations.

Through academic collaborations with manufacturers like SwissDrones and regulatory bodies, SAIT offers cutting-edge training and certification operations of RPAS above 25 kilograms of take-off weight.

In addition to training, SAIT and SwissDrones are driving innovation through joint R&D projects and advanced training programs for Canadian companies. We are honored to collaborate with SAIT to shape unmanned aviation technology’s future and foster the next generation of RPAS advancements.

Crossing the 50-drone mark is a milestone, but every handover tells a story—one of teamwork, dedication, and cutting-edge technology making a real-world impact.
A huge thank you to the entire SAIT team: Adam Batchelor, Wade Hawkins, Jay Reid, Sara Ashoori, Nicholas Hunter, Claire Rivers, Stephanie Lapointe and Sherry Arora, for being part of this journey.

Here’s to many more!
