Astra Aerospace is defined by the core goal of democratizing the world of air freight by implementing cost-saving design and technology. Unmanned technologies, standardization, and the implementation of broader technological trends to the air freightbusiness are all fundamental to a more cost-effective, more efficient, and more reliableecosystem of logistics that Astra aims to promote. By developing a truly Unmanned AerialFreighter (UAF), Astra aims to leverage the past few decades of innovation in militaryUAV technology into a sector-wide revolution in the way air freight is conducted. It is our aspiration to bring the neglected members of the global economy into the fold while also offering new tools to promote growth in previously inaccessible niches. The landlocked, the sea-locked, the isolated, the infrastructureless, and the impoverished should not be penalized or excluded from global commerce as they have been during globalization. It is the duty of the minority world to embrace and elevate the majority and ensure that this burgeoning Fourth Industrial Revolution be in service of all mankind and not just the few.
