Blueflite Added to FAA Section 44807 LUEFLITE ADDED TO FAA SECTION 44807 Approved List
Blueflite announced that its Cobalt 461 cargo drone has been added to the FAA’s Section 44807 Approved UAS list as of June 1 2026, marking a key regulatory milestone. The platform, weighing 54.98 lb, falls just under the 55‑pound threshold that defines the FAA’s lightweight category, placing blueflite among only six manufacturers with such approval. The FAA listing follows a May 2026 FCC Conditional Approval, which exempts the drone from the FCC Covered List and confirms compliance with national‑security communications standards. Together, the dual approvals reduce operational uncertainty for government, healthcare, and public‑safety customers.
