Volatus Aerospace Partners with Singular Aircraft to Introduce Heavy-Lift Autonomous Aircraft for Canadian Wildfire Response

About this update from Volatus Aerospace Inc.

Strategic partnership advances the introduction of a new class of autonomous aircraft, Canadian manufacturing and sovereign industrial capability VAUGHAN, Ontario, Aug. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSX: FLT) (OTCQX: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: ABB.F) ("Volatus" or the "Company"), a Canadian-headquartered global aerospace and defence company, today announced the next phase of its national wildfire response initiative through a Strategic Partnership with Singular Aircraft S.L. ("Singular"), developer of the FlyOx 1 multi-mission heavy-lift autonomous aircraft platform. The agreement establishes Volatus as Singular's Canadian Strategic Partner and creates the framework for introducing the FlyOx 1 into Canada while evaluating Canadian manufacturing, systems integration, operational deployment and long-term in-country support. Together, the companies intend to advance a sovereign Canadian capability supporting wildfire response, emergency management, public safety and other government applications. "Canada already operates one of the world's most respected aerial firefighting fleets. Our objective isn't to replace it, it's to strengthen it with a new class of autonomous aircraft capability that can detect earlier, respond faster, operate closer to emerging incidents, and provide governments with new operational options when time matters most," said Glen Lynch, Chief Executive Officer, Volatus Aerospace. "For Volatus, this is about more than introducing a new aircraft. It's about establishing sovereign Canadian capability in advanced autonomous aerospace, bringing together Canadian manufacturing, Canadian operational expertise and next-generation technology to strengthen national resilience while creating a platform that can continue to evolve as government requirements change." Originally conceived for autonomous aerial firefighting, the FlyOx 1 has evolved into a multi-mission heavy-lift autonomous aircraft platform capable of supporting wildfire response, emergency management, logistics, public safety and other government operations. With a maximum takeoff weight of approximately 4,000 kilograms and the ability to carry 1,560 litres of water or fire retardant-or other mission payloads-the FlyOx 1 represents a new class of autonomous aircraft distinct from the small unmanned systems commonly associated with commercial drone operations.
