Terra Lab: Wingspan 8m Large Drone: Flight distance 1000km, cruising 10 hours
-Maybe it’s cheaper than the US drone that the Ministry of Defense plans to introduce-
Terra Lab: (Aichi Prefecture)
Completed a mockup of a large flying drone with a wingspan of 8 meters.
In the latter half of 2022, we will conduct a flight demonstration with an actual aircraft.
The cruising time is 10 hours,
Flight distance is 1000 kilometers
By developing a large-sized drone that can fly for a long time, we aim for the demand of government agencies such as border security and forest surveying.
Large drone:
Fly with a gasoline engine and propeller.
Composite material is used for the aircraft to reduce weight,
Equipped with high resolution camera and various sensors,
Collect your flight position information with GPS,
You can automatically fly on the memorized route.
Ailerons on the main wing and tail wing change altitude and course during flight.
Successful autonomous flight:
The large drone with a wingspan of 4 meters demonstrated in 19
Flight time 3 hours,
300 kilometers away
Succeeded in autonomous flight.
