Rubb EFASS supports Royal Mail drone trial

Rubb has designed, manufactured, and installed a 25m EFASS at Kirkwall Airport. Kirkwall Airport is the main airport serving Orkney in Scotland, owned by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited. The airport services commercial flights from Loganair, and cargo shipments from Royal Mail. Royal Mail—in association with drone company Windrunners and the Sustainable Aviation Test Environment (SATE) project based at Kirkwall Airport—will use the 25m x 32m EFASS to house its post-delivering drone as part of trials for the UAV system. The post will be flown by an autonomous drone, called Ultra, which can carry 100kg of post between the trial areas of Kirkwall and North Ronaldsay. The drone, travelling at 90mph, takes only twenty minutes to deliver its post to the remote island community. With a population of just 70, the drone may prove essential to keeping remote areas like North Ronaldsay connected.
