From the latest news from WEFLO to trends in the drone and AAM industries.
Our newsletter 'Waffle', is packed with insightful content.

We exhibited at CES for the first time this year! CES is the world's largest trade show, held annually in Las Vegas. At CES, we unveiled our portable version of the non-contact drone inspection solution. We were able to share insightful conversations about the future of mobility platform with leading experts. It was a meaningful opportunity to form a good network for overseas expansion.

We met with Bob Johnson, CCO of eVTOL infrastructure company Volatus, in Atlanta. We had previously signed an MOU with Volatus. During this meeting, we had in-depth discussions about a partnership to positively impact the AAM industry. We are also discussing signing an LOI with Volatus to accelerate the commercialization of AAM.

We met with William Fugate, Head of US Business at eVTOL manufacturer SkyDrive, in Atlanta. We previously met with SkyDrive in Japan last year. Through William's insights, we were able to gain a deeper understanding of the US market, which we are looking to enter. We are also discussing an MOU with SkyDrive to innovate the future mobility platform.

Attended Innovation Xchange Event
Our US Business Director Professor Seungmo Kim attended the Innovation Xchange event held at the Georgia Cyber Center in Augusta, Georgia. This was an AAM forum where we could share our agenda with global companies such as UPS, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Leidos. It was a great opportunity to learn about trends in the US and network with many industry experts.

We’ve been selected as the first Korean startup to participate in the Starburst Accelerating Program. Starburst is an aerospace and defense-focused accelerator.

Their acceleration program encourages start-ups to develop and innovate new technologies. We were selected for the program in recognition of the innovation of our ‘Predictive Maintenance’ solution.

We’ve been approved to join the Georgia AAM Working Group (WG). The Georgia Department of Transportation, the state agency responsible for transportation, operates the Georgia AAM WG, which is a public-private partnership. We also plans to join NASA's AAM WG. WEFLO aims to use this opportunity to lay the groundwork for our US business expansion.

At the Lotte CEO AI Conference 2024, we unveiled ‘Smart Hanger’ concept for the first time. Smart Hanger is a solution that can non-contactually inspect eVTOL aircraft, a future mobility platform, and analyze the accumulated data using AI. This allows for the identification of the aircraft's health status and enables predictive maintenance.

We hosted a Presentation Day event with KUSITM Business School, where students presented their proposals for an AI Drone Dashboard. The students worked on the project for about three weeks, during which time they planned, designed, and developed a prototype of the dashboard. Their insightful presentations on maintenance platforms and insurance provided valuable feedback to us and helped us identify areas for service improvement.
