As the wind industry battles the challenge to reduce its own impact on CO2 emissions in the making of greener energy, could flying cranes be a possible solution for transporting spare parts, tools and equipment for turbine service and maintenance? PES was fascinated to learn more about the possibilities of the technology from Co-founder and Technical Director of Airflight, Mikkel Kærsgaard Sørensen.
PES: Welcome to PES Mikkel. We’re delighted to be starting off a new year with a new name in the publication and can’t wait to introduce you to our readers. With that in mind, perhaps you could start by giving us a brief introduction to Airflight and what you do?
Mikkel Kærsgaard Sørensen: Hi and thank you for having me here today! I’m excited to be here and share a little about our company with you. Airflight is a Danish tech company that builds flying cranes. These are large, fully-electric, industrial drones that can fly with a 200kg payload.
PES: What would you say is the main-stay of the business, in relation to the wind industry in particular?
