■About “PDH-GS120-21-A” which has obtained safety standard certificationThis aircraft is a single-rotor industrial rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle with a two-winged main rotor and tail rotor. It uses a lightweight, compact, and high-power 120cc air-cooled 2-stroke horizontal twin-cylinder engine, and is equipped with a 6.5L fuel tank, enabling long flights with a maximum hovering time of over 2 hours. The flight controller PD-FC1 and the various navigation devices and sensors installed enable a trained pilot to operate the aircraft smoothly and stably. It uses high-strength aluminum alloy and carbon fiber composite materials to achieve both light weight and durability. The size and weight of the machine allows it to be easily carried by two adults, and two units can be mounted in the luggage compartment of a regular wagon with the main rotor removed.■What is JUAV?The Japan Industrial Unmanned Vehicle Association (JUAV) was established in 2004 as the Japan Industrial Unmanned Vehicle Association with the aim of promoting the safe operation of industrial unmanned aerial vehicles (hereinafter referred to as UAV) operated in Japan and contributing to the healthy development and development of the UAV market.In 2017, it is an industry organization that made a new start as a general incorporated association, focusing on manufacturers of unmanned aircraft, including small multi-rotor aircraft. As the fields of use for UAVs expand, society's demands for ensuring safety are increasing. The Japan Industrial Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Association (JUAV) is aiming to create unified safety standards for UAVs in Japan as an industry in order to respond to these social demands.■About Prodrone Co., Ltd.With the vision of "becoming the most trusted drone company in the region," we aim to build a drone ecosystem in the Chubu region.
