A Passionate Flyer and Founder of Blueflite, Frank Noppel

Frank Noppel is the founder and CEO of Blueflite, a drone-based logistics platform that makes deliveries faster and more cost-effective.

Frank is a professional engineer with a passion for flying. Cranfield’s PhD at the Rolls Royce University Technology Centre concentrated on sustainability in aviation technology at a period when this topic was barely on the radar, attracted by his name in aerospace. Although he was finally dragged back into corporate life, working as a consultant for one of the world’s premier consulting organisations for five years, the allure of entrepreneurship proved too powerful. He shared the narrative of what inspired him to start a company that will radically change the logistics sector to a virtual audience.

Blueflite, which was founded in 2018, is a drone-based logistics platform that allows for faster and more cost-effective delivery. The all-electric, patent-pending drone design offers vertical take-off and landing capabilities, as well as excellent manoeuvrability, and is durable, scalable, and multifunctional. Through blueflite’s exclusive digital environment, drones may communicate with logistics systems.

The startup is a cloud-based interface that connects their drones to ground-based digital logistics systems. Its architecture enables system agnostic integration, allowing it to provide the full range of advanced features that only drone logistics can provide.

Frank’s companies drones were created with cost and dependability in mind in order to suit the needs of logistical applications. The tilt-rotor architecture provides for runway independence and unparalleled mobility. The emission-free energy sources are made possible by the all-electric drivetrain.
