QHL - Quickstep Holdings

[Dona Ferentes]

and from around March 2022:

Quickstep is a relatively new player in the drone space following its recent partnership with Swoop Aerospace and its investment in Carbonix. The aerospace components business better known for production of F35 fighter jet parts has experienced turbulence in the past, but sees drones as a key component of its growth outlook.

It points to the imminent rollout of its first logistics drone in the third quarter of 2022, as well as the imminent production of the Volasi drone and its place in the Swinburne and Victorian state government Airhub project as evidence that drones can contribute to the company moving forward.
