Fixed-Wing Drones: Unpacking Superior Fuel Efficiency & Range

When most people think of the word drone, at least the way it used to be was a quadcopter configuration, vertical takeoff and landing. Uh clearly that's that's not what your drone does, but then yours is I would imagine much more fuel efficient and longer range because of its fixed wing configuration. You talk about why you made that choice. Yes, so we actually do uh provide, we do build uh uh quadcopters or, you know, multi copters is what we call them that are they just take off vertically. And those for the most part are battery operated. And so when they're battery operated, you have more limited flight duration. Uh you can go in and do um uh hydrogen or you can do a hybrid type system where you're partially battery, partially uh fuel. And and that will extend out your flight time. But this particular aircraft behind me here, you know, we operate this thing off of a 35cc engine, which is a very small engine. Wow. for this size of an aircraft, but we have an air hybrid system where we can give it a boost so we can get up to altitude quickly and ...
