Aergility Kom nthuav tawm Hybrid VTOL Cargo Drone

Dab tsi yog shaping mus rau dogfight rau ib qho chaw nyob rau hauv lub burgeoning unmanned aircraft xa kev lag luam yog hais txog kom pom tus qauv rau ib tug tshiab combatant tshiab. Hnub Monday, Aergility Corporation yuav muab cov ntaub qhwv tawm ntawm thawj qhov loj me ntawm nws ATLIS hybrid cargo ntsug takeoff thiab tsaws unmanned aerial tsheb ntawm lub AVUSI Xponential conference in Orlando, Fla. Hauv lwm lo lus, lub drone uas nqa cov khoom thauj.

Tab sis dab tsi ua rau ATLIS tawm ntawm lwm lub nkoj thauj khoom tam sim no nyob rau hauv kev txhim kho yog dab tsi ua rau nws tawm mus thiab ya-Aergility's patented Managed Autorotation Technology lossis MAT.

"Nws zoo li ib tug hybrid hybrid - roj thiab hluav taws xob, ntxiv rau ob txoj hauv kev ntawm kev ya: multirotor thiab autogyro," piav qhia Aergility tus thawj coj ntawm kev muag khoom thiab kev lag luam Brian Vander Mey hauv kev xam phaj.

Lub ATLIS siv rau 90 qhov chaw ruaj khov, cuaj-ko taw txoj kab uas hla hluav taws xob rotors rau kev tawm mus thiab tsaws. Huab cua rau pem hauv ntej propulsion yog tswj los ntawm XNUMX kilowatt multifuel turboprop cav, uas kuj recharges roj teeb rau lub rotors nyob rau hauv lub davhlau. Nyob rau hauv pem hauv ntej davhlau, nqa yog muab los ntawm ib tug me me qaum tis thiab airflow los ntawm lub rotors zoo li ib tug autogyro.

"Cov rotors nqa ib nrab ntawm cov load thiab tis yog nqa ib nrab ntawm cov load. Nws yog qhov ua tau zoo heev, "Aergility tus tsim thiab CEO Jim Vander Mey, uas tseem yog Brian txiv, hais rau Forbes.com. “Lub hauv paus ntsiab lus yog tib yam li lub dav hlau gyro. Tag nrho cov dav hlau yog tswj los ntawm kev hloov pauv ntawm RPMs. Lub cav rub nws los ntawm huab cua, lub zog rau lub rotors yog los ntawm huab cua mus los ntawm rotors. "

Qhov tshwm sim yog ib chav tsev compact uas tuaj yeem tawg thiab thauj los ntawm trailer, tab sis muaj peev xwm nqa tau hnyav hnyav rau ntau pua mais.

Jim Vander Mey hais tias "Nws tuaj yeem nqa tau qhov muaj txiaj ntsig ntawm 600 phaus," said Jim Vander Mey. "Nws yog ib qho kev sib cais ntawm cov roj thiab cov khoom thauj. Yog tias koj xav nqa 400 phaus koj tuaj yeem mus 600 mais. Yog tias koj xav nqa 500 phaus koj tuaj yeem mus 300 phaus nrog lub tank txheem. "

Cruising ceev yog 100 mais ib teev.

Lub ATLIS yog tsim los ya autonomously tab sis rau kev sim lub hom phiaj qee qhov kev ua haujlwm yog ua los ntawm cov chaw taws teeb tswj.

Tsis zoo li qee lub tuam txhab tsim cov khoom thauj drones, Aergility tsis saib, thaum pib, ntawm kev mus tom qab kev xa khoom lag luam, tab sis ua haujlwm pab tib neeg thiab tub rog xav tau, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog nyob rau thaj chaw deb lossis chaw txaus ntshai.

Jim Vander Mey piav qhia tias "Muaj lub sijhawm loj hauv lub ntiaj teb tab tom tsim, tsis yog hauv Asmeskas," "Tsis txhob txhawj xeeb txog kev xa tawm mais kawg koj yuav tsum tau txhawj xeeb txog pua mais kawg thiab qhov no yuav ua rau muaj peev xwm tsim tau ib lub logistics uas tuaj yeem xa cov khoom no raug nqi zoo, sai, tsis tas yuav muaj tag nrho cov txheej txheem. Peb xav tias muaj kev lag luam loj rau qhov ntawd. "

Lub ATLIS qhov kev npaj siv tau qhia txog tus qauv tsim kom nws thauj khoom li cas. Ntau dua li khaws cov pods lossis shipping ntim nws tus Tsov tus tw qhib zoo li lub hatch ntawm SUV yog li khib-zoo li tus thiab ntau yam khoom tuaj yeem raug pov rau hauv 40 cubic feet cargo tuav. Lawv tuaj yeem raug khi los yog latched.

Lub version ntawm ATLIS yuav tsum tau nthuav tawm lub lim tiam tom ntej yog qhov thib peb tus qauv tab sis thawj tus ntawm qhov loj me. Tsawg kawg yog ib qho ntxiv yog npaj ua ntej qhov kev cia siab ntau lawm version.

Tus txwj laus Vander Mey piav txog nws tus kheej li "tus neeg ua lag luam ua lag luam" uas pib Aergility xya xyoo dhau los. Nws piav qhia tias nws yog "muaj txiaj ntsig zoo lub tuam txhab virtual" nrog cov neeg koom tes thiab cov neeg muag khoom hauv 11 lub tebchaws. Nws hais tias qee qhov nyiaj pib pib los ntawm tus neeg ua lag luam ntiag tug nrog feem ntau "los ntawm cov neeg siv khoom uas ntseeg lub tswv yim thiab hais tias peb xav tau qhov no." Vander Mey tsis kam qhia tus neeg siv khoom.

Txoj kev npaj, nws hais tias, thaum kawg yuav tsim ib qho chaw hauv Dunnellon, Fla., txog 90 mais sab qaum teb ntawm Tampa, tab sis tseem muaj haujlwm ua.

Vander Mey tau hais tias "Peb tseem tsis tau nyob ntawm qhov chaw uas peb npaj los tsim cov khoom lag luam," said Vander Mey. "Peb tau txais tus qauv thiab tau txais kev sim ntau dua los ua tab sis peb tau ya cov qauv ntsuas thiab lawv ya tau zoo heev yog li cov thev naus laus zis tau pov thawj thiab peb npaj txhij rau cov kauj ruam tom ntej."
