Our roadmap is meant as a general guideline for how we are developing The Sky Guys into a world leading drone company.
In the spirit of transparency and in good faith to the community, we want this roadmap to be made public. However, please keep in mind that this roadmap is high level and subject to change based on priorities, unplanned developments and new ideas.

OCTOBER 2018 – DX-3 VANGUARD FLIGHT CAMPAIGN
After securing a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) earlier in 2018 for testing of the DX-3 at CNU8 Markham Airport, TSG has been focused on systems integration, pilot training, and developing operating procedures, culminating in ongoing flight tests that will continue through 2019.
Flight testing a drone such as the DX-3 is no easy feat. With its custom airframe, electronics, and software, and coming in at a take-off weight above the 25kg normally allowed by regulations, it goes without saying that safety and reliability are a priority for TSG. That TSG has mitigated the key risks and verified key technical requirements is a major achievement for the team.
October 30th, 2018 marked the first flight test of the DX-3 Vanguard, including a ground control authority test, geofencing test, fleet hop test, ground taxis, de-risking, and ultimately a maiden flight test. This allowed us to verify the key performance and functional characteristics of the DX-3 itself, which will set the foundation for the next iteration and future engineering development and testing.
