Matternet receives FAA Production Certification for its ‘M2’ drone-based delivery system

Product updates

  • Matternet, a drone-based delivery solutions provider, received Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Production Certification for its “M2” drone-based delivery system—a joint operation between United Parcel Services (UPS) and Matternet. With this Matternet becomes the first drone-based delivery services provider to have obtained Production Certification in the US.

  • The certification verifies that the company possesses the necessary quality management and manufacturing capabilities to produce the drones according to the approved design.

  • The company expects to manufacture its drones at its facility in Mountain View, California, with plans to deploy the first drone built under the certification later this year.

  • Analyst QuickTake: Today’s news comes just two months after Matternet received FAA’s Type Certification for its M2 drones, which confirms that Matternet has met rigorous safety standards and approved aircraft design and components used. We believe that with these approvals, the company would be able to scale up its commercial operations in the future.
