Mission Scenarios
Three real-world scenarios with detailed energy budgets, flight profiles, and outcomes — showing what the Stork delivers in practice.
Medical — Insulin Delivery to Remote Clinic
A rural clinic 20 km from the nearest hospital needs insulin resupply twice weekly. Roads are unpaved and take 90 minutes each way.
Mission
40 km round trip
Payload
Insulin vials (~80 g)
Flight Time
~44 min flight time (at 54 km/h) + VTOL phases
Energy Profile
Outcome
Replaces 3 hours of driving with 50 minutes of autonomous flight. Insulin arrives within its temperature window.
Emergency — Supply Drop to Flood Zone
A community 40 km away is isolated by floodwater. Roads are impassable. They need first-aid supplies and a satellite communicator.
Mission
80 km one-way (no return payload)
Payload
First-aid kit + sat communicator (~150 g)
Flight Time
~89 min cruise + VTOL phases
Energy Profile
Outcome
Supplies delivered to an otherwise unreachable community. Aircraft may need recovery or secondary battery for full return, depending on wind conditions.
Agriculture — Multi-Stop Sensor Deployment
A farming cooperative needs soil moisture sensors deployed at 3 locations across a 60 km circuit. Terrain is too rough for vehicles.
Mission
60 km circuit with 3 waypoints
Payload
Soil sensors (~120 g, dropped at each stop)
Flight Time
~67 min cruise + VTOL phases
Energy Profile
Outcome
Three sensor deployments across rough terrain completed in under 90 minutes. A vehicle would have needed a full day.
