Developed a helicopter-type drone “PDH-01” capable of long-distance cargo delivery
PRODRONE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Naka-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, President: Masakazu Kono, hereinafter referred to as PRODRONE) is pleased to announce that it has developed a helicopter-type drone "PDH-01" capable of long-distance cargo delivery. This machine will be on display at the PRODRONE booth at AUVSI Xponential 2017, the world's largest industrial drone exhibition, to be held in Dallas, USA from May 9th to 11th, 2017. In order to realize package delivery using drones, PRODRONE focused on helicopter-type drones. The PDH-01 was developed based on over 30 years of experience in RC helicopter design. Equipped with an autopilot function, the aircraft will automatically fly to its destination. It takes off and lands on autopilot, and can deliver a maximum payload of 3kg to a location 100km away in about an hour. The PDH-01 is equipped with a gasoline engine, enabling high-speed, long-distance transportation. In addition, by adopting a helicopter type that is less affected by wind, it can fly at a wind speed of 13 m/s, allowing long-distance transportation even in somewhat strong winds. Please look forward to the helicopter-type drone "PDH-01". Regarding the specific product outline, we will notify you as a new product announcement once the details have been finalized.
