SiFly Aviation has secured $20 million in Series A financing to boost production of its long-endurance electric drones. Shield Capital led the round, with Qudit, BBK Capital, Alumni Ventures, and other investors also participating. The Santa Clara-based company plans to use the funds to fulfill its growing customer backlog and expand its autonomous aircraft business.
The Q12, SiFly's flagship drone, is engineered for applications like public safety, infrastructure inspection, and agriculture. Its Q12 model offers four times the endurance of leading enterprise drones and can stay airborne for over three hours. This record-setting performance earned the Q12 a Guinness World Record in its class.
SiFly's DronePort system facilitates multi-drone operations, enabling persistent aerial coverage and efficient mission management. The combined Q12 and DronePort solution could significantly reduce operational costs for various industries by minimizing drone launches and increasing mission durations. SiFly aims to strengthen its U.S. manufacturing capabilities and regulatory infrastructure as part of its commercial scaling strategy.
