MySky ECO, a U.S. -based leader in efficient aviation, and Airwayz, a global leader in Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) technology, have officially launched a joint venture to develop a next-generation long-range UAV system. This binational project was recently selected for funding by the Space Florida-Israel Innovation Partnership Program and is designed to demonstrate a fully autonomous drone platform capable of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations in regulated and complex airspaces across the United States.
The two companies share a common mission: to prove that unmanned aircraft can operate safely and efficiently alongside traditional aviation in real-world, high-traffic environments.
“Our collaboration with Airwayz brings together two highly complementary technologies — advanced efficient aviation and cutting-edge AI-driven UTM,” said Jeremy Maswary, CEO of MySky ECO.
“With this project, we’re not just testing large BVLOS drones; across multiple flight corridors and mission profiles. The MS-1D flight envelope and exceptional range and endurance capabilities are a natural fit for the Airwayz technology.”
The system will integrate MySky’s MS-1D UAV platform, derived from its eco-efficient light aircraft technology, with Airwayz’ AI-based UTM software. The Airwayz platform enables real-time coordination of multiple drone fleets, dynamic airspace management, and safe coexistence with manned aircraft – enabled with strategic and tactical deconfliction capabilities.“This is an important step for the future of airspace management and autonomous flight,” said Eyal Zor, CEO of Airwayz.
“Together with MySky ECO, we’re building a real-world operational model that enables unmanned aircraft to support high-impact missions like organ transport and search-and-rescue, even in busy skies.”
Development is already underway, with flight testing targeted towards the end of the year. The system will be evaluated across multiple high-impact use cases—including medical and organ transport, emergency and package delivery, search and rescue, and border reconnaissance—requiring a long-range, high-speed drone capable of operating from short or unimproved runway environments.
While the project is co-funded by Space Florida and the Israel Innovation Authority, all technical and operational components are being developed by MySky ECO and Airwayz.
“This partnership embodies our mission at MySky ECO to lead the next era of sustainable, intelligent aviation,” said Grant Desmarais, President of MySky ECO.
“Airwayz’ UTM technology gives our UAVs the brains to match their wings. Together, we are building a safer, smarter future for American skies.”
Airwayz is responsible for delivering a comprehensive UTM framework, including real-time airspace monitoring, mission planning tools, deconfliction services, and direct integration with air traffic control. MySky ECO leads the aircraft development, testing, FAA coordination, and stakeholder engagement across the proposed East Coast corridor.
This joint venture is not only a pilot but also a critical milestone on the path toward enabling the full integration of unmanned aerial systems into the national airspace. The project supports broader goals of safety, sustainability, and technological leadership.
