AZ-500: Engine direct drive drone: 5 hours continuous navigation
-Co-developed with Top Flight Technologies-
Drone robotics industry
Mr. Taishi Aizawa
Engine drone development, etc.
We talked to “Mr. Taishi Aizawa, who leads many big projects”.
June 2021
Japan Drone Exhibition
A lot of people gathered at Mr. Daishi Aizawa’s booth.
There were two proposals to the drone industry.
Engine direct drive drone
“AZ-500”
The first is:
Proposal of “engine direct drive drone” instead of hybrid.
If the engine is directly driven, it can fly powerfully for a longer time.
“AZ-500” performed the world’s first demonstration flight in Hamamatsu on October 26th.
Synchronized with the real world
SYNCWORLD
The second one is:
AI-equipped robots move in synchronization with the real world.
Build a digital space in real time.
He proposed a new concept “SYNC WORLD”.
Top Flight Technologies
joint development
Large aircraft generate electricity from the engine to drive the motor.
Collaboratively developed with Top Flight Technologies, a US MIT tech venture.
2020
Japan Drone Exhibition
The power of “payload 10kg, flight time 1 hour” attracted attention.
Engine drone AZ-500:
The aircraft weighs 100 kg and the payload is less than 50 kg.
A powerful aircraft with a continuous sailing time of 5 hours or more without a payload.
That is why it is useful for continuous monitoring.
Aircraft Autonomous Navigation ・ SYNCWORLD:
Notable
Positioning the aircraft as “the base aircraft for industrial drones premised on autonomous navigation”.
Invented the base “SYNC WORLD” for autonomous navigation.
Realization of “SYNC WORLD”:
This is a simple thing that manages location information “only” with a blockchain.
2024
Agreement with Namie Town
By 2024, implement the river tsunami disaster prevention support app The Guardian.
This app realizes pinpoint prediction detection for individuals.
