DDI @ Purple Nectar 2025

The last day of hashtag#PurpleNECtar has come to an end and what an event it was! Together with visitors, we built 30 drones on-site. Normally produced in hashtag#Delft, but this time we moved our production to Nijkerk! The drones are 10-inch FPV systems, capable of carrying up to 4 kg payloads and flying distances up to 25 km. The next step is rigerious testing and adding the final upgrades before they’re ready for take-off. If your organisation needs custom drones for testing or R&D, consider having them built right here in Delft 🇳🇱!
