Discovery Telecom represents new generation long range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) based on tiltrotor concept developed by military innovative startup company.
• 500+ hours test flights
• “Smooth” conversion – tiltrotor is stable at 20-30m/s horizontal speed and can fly continuously at “partial conversion” – weak point of V-22 Osprey
• Working at harsh weather conditions (up to 22m/s wind, heavy rain and snow, icy rain)
• Commercially available accessories are used
• IP protected aerodynamic scheme
• Unique control system – tests with 4 pushing and 4 pulling motors have been completed successfully (reliability test)
• New solution for higher reliability (patent pending)
• Hybrid powertrain (ICE-generator-battery-electric motors)
• Automatic (control system) start
• Special design provides advanced thermal management
• Positive energy balance (battery charging during horizontal flight)
• Low vibration
• Vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL)
• Fully autonomous missions
• Hybrid powertrain: internal combustion engine – buffer battery – electric motors
• Different payload options
• Range/payload trade off
