India's Airbound bags $37M to take on trucks with rocket-like drones | TechCrunch

印度初创公司 Airbound 本轮融资 3700 万美元,旨在通过火箭式无人机将空运货物成本降低至与卡车运输持平。该 Series A 轮由 Greenoaks 领投,DoorDash、Lightspeed 等机构参与,此前该公司已完成约 865 万美元的种子轮融资。Airbound 研发的 TRT 无人机采用垂直起降设计,重量小于载重,目前可携带 2.2 磅货物,下一代机型预计载重翻倍。截至 2026 年 8 月,该公司已实现超过 13000 次自主飞行,其中与 Narayana Health 的合作运送诊断样本比两轮车快数倍。未来 Airbound 计划与安得拉邦政府合作,建立连接三座城市的配送网络,目标日飞行量达 10000 次。
