○ Korean Air works with drone operators for commercial use of hybrid-powered octocopter drone

Korean Air signed a business agreement on August 26 with drone operators for the demonstration and operation of its "hybrid drone." Korean Air will provide education and technology for its partners to develop new markets and find a full-fledged business model. While actively exploring overseas markets, Korean Air would improve the performance of its hybrid drone so that it can be used for fire fighting and industrial plants.

The drone is equipped with electronic optics and infrared cameras to capture high-resolution images and transmit them in real time. Various mission equipment can be replaced depending on the purpose of operation. In July, Korean Air secured a deal from the Defense Acquisition Program Administration in charge of arms acquisition to supply six hybrid drones. Additional supply is possible after a test run.
