Like all Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), drones trade off range for payload. Yet whilst noisy and hobbled by the limited duration of lithium batteries (sourced from precarious players), autonomous quadcopter drones nevertheless offer interesting capabilities in civilian and battlefield operations.
Leveraging the incredibly stealthy sonic profile of low-frequency single-rotor physics, helicopters pair increased maneuverability due to collective pitch control loops with much lower observability. This opens new doors to mission planners.
Then because engines offer loiter capabilities extending to an hour, with payloads ranging 100KM from launch, the P6 Utilty airframe offers intriguing capabilties through added versatility. This means fulfilling missions in new ways. If your project engineers find these concepts appealing, we invite you to lay out your requirements.
