#Bastler entwickelt #3D-gedruckte #VTOL-Drohne mit hoher Reichweite
Ohne große Kenntnisse über #Aerodynamik und #CAD entwickelte ein Bastler eine VTOL-Drohne mit hoher Reichweite. Die meisten Bauteile stammen aus dem #3D-Drucker.
Der #Ingenieur #Tsung Xu hat eine elektrisch betriebene Drohne entwickelt, die 130 Meilen (etwa 209,2 km) am Stück zurücklegen und dabei mit einer Ladung auskommt.

Firefighting #rotorcraft shortfall prompts Bell’s 214ST reboot: https://aviationweek.com/aerospace/aircraft-propulsion/firefighting-rotorcraft-shortfall-prompts-bells-214st-reboot. Aerial #firefighting is an #aerospace niche but it is a critical one. Within that niche, #VTOL aircraft bring unique capabilities. They deliver water and retardant precisely, transport firefighters to remote areas, and perform aerial reconnaissance. VTOLs are essential assets for rapid response and effective wildfire management.
