The prototype is equipped with Aeronext's new "ActiveWing" technology, which uses a multi-rotor structure with ailerons to assist in lift during flight for stabilization, enabling longer-distance flight and more efficient transport performance compared to conventional multi-rotor drones.
The aircraft is being developed as a multi-use aircraft that can be used for a wide range of applications, including logistics, surveillance, inspection, and aerial photography.
Furthermore, by employing Aeronext's proprietary aircraft structure design technology "4D GRAVITY," aerodynamic characteristics have been optimized. This not only improves the basic performance required of industrial drones, such as stability, efficiency, and maneuverability, but also enhances transport performance for logistics applications.
In recent years, while expectations for the use of drones in the logistics sector have been rising, challenges remain regarding carrying capacity and flight range. Aeronext has focused on optimizing aerodynamic characteristics in its drone research and development, and has been working to achieve flight performance that combines efficiency and stability, which is particularly required for logistics drones.
The company plans to promote the social implementation of drone logistics based on its technology and intellectual property, and contribute to the development of the next generation of the mobility industry and the resolution of social issues through the construction of aerial infrastructure utilizing low-altitude areas.
