In 2025-26 the entity launched DoorDash app delivery in Little Elm/Frisco TX (Jun-26-25), received FAA BVLOS as the fourth US delivery operator after Wing, Amazon and Zipline (Aug-13-25), took Uber’s first drone-delivery investment plus an Uber Eats partnership (Sep-18-25, amount undisclosed; Ctech est. tens of millions USD), unveiled Sky2 (8.8 lb / 4 kg payload, 4-mile radius) with Little Caesars in Wylie TX (Apr-23-26), and opened an ~8,000 sq ft Pilot Point TX assembly/maintenance plant (May-21-26) targeting ~1,000 drones/year and 20→50 staff. Distinguishing point is suburban QSR/backyard winch delivery plus DoorDash/Uber/Little Caesars integrations; open question is scale—company-sourced lifetime 200,000 US deliveries (unchanged from Sep-25 through mid-26) and DFW coverage still ~<200k residents as of May-26 versus a stated 60-site / ~5 million-resident mid-2027 target.","sub_category":"Drones & aerial","signals_total":2,"url":"https://www.frontiertechintelligence.com/companies/flytrex","title":"Flytrex · robotics, Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv District, Israel · scores, facts and signals · Frontier Tech Intelligence","description":"Flytrex develops and deploys Sky2 autonomous delivery drones, including manufacturing, maintenance, and operation of the aircraft for commercial deliveries.
