AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRO) is one of the best small-cap drone stocks to invest in. On July 22, AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRO) announced the development of its new middle-mile cargo drone.

At the EAA AirVenture 2025 in Oshkosh, AIRO Group revealed that it is introducing a new drone that will be a medium-lift cargo drone. Moreover, the company announced the expansion of its operations into the YMX Innovation Zone in Mirabel, Quebec. AIRO Group’s electric mobility segment, Jaunt Air Mobility, and its Canadian subsidiary, Jaunt Air Mobility Canada, are leading this initiative.

AIRO Group’s new cargo drone is designed to carry around 250 to 500 pounds, covering distances of 200+ miles. This cargo drone will be an efficient, low-emission alternative to conventional middle-mile freight options such as box trucks and tractor-trailers. The drone will be equipped with a modular Ground Control System (GCS) that will provide real-time flight monitoring, dynamic mission planning, and secure communications management.

“We’re thrilled to unveil our cargo drone—an innovative solution designed to serve both remote and urban communities. Our work on the CORRIDAIR Project with our partner Vertiko Mobilité demonstrated the transformative potential of this technology, especially for First Nation communities in rural Quebec, where access to critical medical supplies and fuel is limited. Building on that success, and integrating advanced drone technologies from across AIRO, we believe that we’re uniquely positioned to harness the full capabilities of YMX’s infrastructure and ecosystem,” said Martin Peryea, SVP & GM of AIRO’s Electric Air Mobility segment and leader of Jaunt.

AIRO Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRO) is an aerospace and defense company involved in manufacturing drones for different industries. The company operates through the following segments: Drones, Avionics, Training, and Electric Air Mobility.
