Contributes to a better globe

-I think it is exciting to work in Kitemill, together with a bunch of committed experts in several fields. It is fun to be part of a development work that helps us sometime in the future to hand over the globe to new generations, in a better condition than the globe is today. Kitemill contributes with sustainable and environmentally sound solutions, for the benefit of the future. It is clear that it is inspiring to be part of this work, says Otto de Besche.

 

Develops a new type of aircraft

- We at Kitemill are developing a new type of aircraft, a kind of hybrid of both drone, kite and glider. This development must take place in accordance with the regulations for aviation. I am concerned that we show openness. We need to tell what we do and how we do it. This openness is important especially towards potential customers and other stakeholders, says Otto de Besche.
