Merlin, the leading developer of safe, autonomous flight technology for fixed-wing aircraft, today announced the appointments of retired Major General Kyle Kremer and Preston Dunlap to its Federal Advisory Board as it continues the market expansion and commercialization of its dual-use integrated hardware and software solution, the Merlin Pilot. Dunlap and Maj. Gen. Kremer's appointments come on the heels of several recent milestones by Merlin. These include Merlin's recently awarded FAA Contract to deploy the Nation's first Air Cargo Network flown by a non human pilot and achieving the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of New Zealand's first Stage of Involvement (SOI 1) certification, and the opening of its center for operations in Kerikeri, New Zealand as the test environment for further technological development and certification activities of its Cessna Caravans.
