A local company that created medical units to place inside a cargo aircraft is now developing units that can transport items via rockets.
“Imagine a rocket cargo going across the earth and within two hours can deliver humanitarian aid and other means to support natural disasters,” Michael Knight, senior vice president of international sales at Knight Aerospace said.“We received a small business innovation research contract from the United States Air Force to support future aspirations of moving cargo, humanitarian aid by using rockets,” Knight said.
Knight Aerospace started in 1992 and created units to transport high ranking military officials and others. Today, they are designing the units for medical purposes. “The entire module is 100% sealed. It’s a negative pressure system bringing air out and before it goes into the cargo bin, it goes through various filtration systems,” Knight said.“It’s meant to transport medical situations for the Air Force or the Canadian government or allied nations. It’s also being utilized to transport infectious disease patients by COVID, Ebola, or other means of safely transport in the back of military planes,” Knight said.
