The Dragonfly DFU

The Dragonfly DFU (Drone) is a Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) platform entirely controlled by an Auto Pilot remotely . It's a highly  stable unit, built to military specifications with unparalleled performance. The Empty weight is only 220 lbs, and its capable of lifting a payload of 800 lbs, all while being able to go from "dark cockpit" to airborne within 30 seconds.

Advantages:

Powered with renewable Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2),  which can me made locally,  and the lack of any moving engine parts makes the operating, and maintenance costs ultra low compared to any other heavy lifting drones on the market.


The DFU Dragonfly is very quiet with only 72dB ground noise.  As a comparison, a standard electric shaver emits 85 dB. This fact, in conjunction with the lack of a radar heat signature makes the DFU a rather "stealthy" aircraft.


Due to it's relatively slow  rotor speed the Dragonfly DFU is less affected by ground effect making it very easy to hover.  The counteracting rockets eradicates any torque produced by traditional engine designs making he DFU amazingly stable, and easy to maneuver even in windy conditions. 


With no need for engine, or turbine intakes the DFU is extremely reliable to operate, even during the most extreme weather conditions such as sandstorms, or during heavy precipitations etc.


The DFU is an attractive platform for acquiring very-high resolution imagery, Border patrol surveillance, Emergency Medical Support (EMS), Search and Rescue (SAR missions), Crop Spraying and/or heavy deliveries 

  

Optional equipment:

The Dragonfly DFU is a multi role platform capable of unlimited configurations, such as, but not limited to:

Crop Field Sprayer • Ground fixed Handling Wheels• Rescue Stretcher • Winch • Emergency Cargo Compartment • Surveillance Target Lock-up • Custom Attachment Points • Transponder (required for IFR) • High definition Day/Night camera • Aircraft Cover • Landing Floats • Custom Colors

Reconnaissance and Surveillance missions

• Ground Control Station (GCS)

• Flight Management System

• Data Link Systems

• Very Low noise applications: 72 decibels

• Fitted utility floats (pontoons) 

• Stealth / no Radar heat signature

• Zero vibration

• Zero maintenance
