Mercury Ground Support played a pivotal role in the seamless unloading of the disassembled Skydweller Aero—a revolutionary solar-powered perpetual motion uncrewed aircraft. Employing three new JBT 30i Cargo loaders, the equipment facilitated the unloading process as the aircraft arrived from Spain at StennisI nternational Airport in Kiln, Mississippi, with the assistance of a CargoLux 747.
The disassembled Skydweller Aero, celebrated for its groundbreaking solar-powered perpetual motion technology, landed at Stennis International Airport on Saturday, January 12, 2023, for further assembly and testing. Mercury Ground Support's state-of-the-art ground support equipment played a pivotal role in meticulous unloading procedures, facilitating the seamless transfer of components from the CargoLux 747 to the airport facilities.
Mercury's highly skilled technicians were present throughout the operation, providing expert support to ensure the flawless operation of the cargo loaders and promptly addressing any issues that arose during the unloading procedures.
"Mercury GSE are a force multiplier. Their ability to adapt, integrate and work with a new team was superb.”, said David Tyler, Operations Director Skydweller Stennis. “Their professionalism from the onset, and the way they make you feel like their most important customer is second to none. Without their tremendous support the unload would not have been as efficient as it was. We thank everyone for all their support."
In addition to Mercury GSE’s role in supplying the ground support equipment, Alliance Ground International, a distinguished player in the ground handling services industry, managed the on-the-ground handling services. This ensured a seamless transition for the disassembled components of the Skydweller Aero from the CargoLux 747 to the airport facilities.
"We are thrilled to have been part of this milestone project with Skydweller Aero," said Jason Gendron, CEO at Mercury GroundSupport. "Our commitment to providing cutting-edge ground support solutions aligns perfectly with the innovative spirit of Skydweller Aero. The successful unloading of the solar-powered aircraft underscores our dedication to excellence in every aspect of ground support operations."
This collaboration exemplifies Mercury Ground Support's unwavering dedication to contributing to the success of ground breaking aerospace projects. Leveraging their expertise and advanced equipment, the company continues to play a vital role in enhancing the efficiency andreliability of air transport operations.
