Summary
lirtey’s mission is to save lives and improve lifestyles by making delivery instant for everyone.
Flirtey was the first company to conduct an FAA-approved drone delivery in the U.S., the first to perform a fully autonomous drone delivery to a home and the first to launch a commercial drone delivery service. The startup has worked with NASA, Johns Hopkins University of Medicine, Remote Area Medical, New Zealand Land Search & Rescue, Regional Emergency Medical Services Authority, Domino's, 7-Eleven and FedEx to conduct deliveries of medicine to rural healthcare clinics, ship-to-shore deliveries of medical samples, and deliveries of retail and ecommerce items to consumer homes. Flirtey also launched the first automated external defibrillator (AED) drone delivery service in the United States.
Flirtey’s landmark achievements have been recognized by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, which accepted a Flirtey delivery drone to join other iconic American aircraft, including the Space Shuttle Discovery and the Wright Flyer.
