HAMR - Hybrid Advanced Multi-Rotor

Hybrid Advanced Multi-Rotor

Ease of Use of a Multi-Rotor with the Flight Time of a Fixed Wing

ENDURANCE AND POWER

A maximum flight time of 3.5+ hours or a maximum payload capacity of 6 lbs.

Unique Hybrid Electric Propulsion enables 6x increase in flight time over battery powered multi-rotors.

MOBILITY

This aircraft can transit long distances at speed and continuously hover and maneuver like any other multi-rotor for hours at a time performing detailed inspections.

BALANCE

This aircraft is optimized to maximize your productivity. In addition to flying for hours at a time, it is rapidly setup (less than 4 minutes), durable (IP65 rated), and field maintainable.

Maximum Rate of Climb/Descent 400 feet/minute
Environmental Limitations
Wind Limit Steady + Gust speed must be less than 25 kts.
Air Temperature Between 10 degrees and 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Note, for all operations above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the 240mm radiator must be used.
Precipitation The aircraft is IP54 rated (Dust protected, Protected from water splashes from any direction). HAMR may be operated in continuous light precipitation. Specifically, light rain is defined as (less than 0.1 inches per hour).
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Pilots/operators must not fly the HAMR UAS within 100 feet of high-voltage power lines.
Note: These limitations are advisory in nature and subject to change.
