Transportation and Logistics
Although there are many
constraints on economic
growth, a lack of infrastructure often proves to be the
most binding. Dragonfly offers an immediate
solution to many transportation and logistics problems.
Its ability to vertically take-off and land, coupled
with the safety offered by the ducted fans, allows
Dragonfly to operate in underdeveloped areas. Dragonfly
has the ability to increase the daily radius of economic
activity by a multiple of ten to fifteen times what many
of these countries are experiencing today.
This means farmers can get their product to market and
suppliers can get fertilizer and other essential
components back to the farmers. People in remote
villages, once isolated and cut off economically, can
receive necessary medical and other supplies. This
starts the process of improving the economic base from
which to build. All of this can be accomplished with
little or no increase in the governmental
infrastructure.
