DroneVolt Heliplane Vertical take-off airplane 230cm
- This unmanned aircraft of the French company DroneVolt combines the advantages of a multi-rotor and an fixed wing.
The Heliplane is a professional VTOL drone combining the advantages of a multirotor UAV with a fixed wing drone. The VTOL innovation allows you to take off and land safely in limited spaces. The Heliplane no longer needs runways to fly.
The Heliplane can fly up to 10 km (6.2 mi) for 60 minutes in airplane mode. The transition between the two flight modes is fully automatic. It comes in two sizes: Large (wingspan: 230cm/90 inch) et Extra-Large (wingspan: 270cm/145 inch).
The disassembly of the wing and empennage turns it into a multi-rotor, which gives it a great modularity. Heliplane can be used in VTOL or multi-rotor mode.
The carbon fiber and Kevlar frame makes the Heliplane extremely resistant to a variety of flying conditions. It withstands winds up to 50 km/h (31 mph) and can carry up to 1.6 kg payload (3.6 lbs).
