The development of drones is one of the actively developing directions in the modern world. In Ukraine, One Way Aerospace presented a new project – the AQ-400 Scythe kamikaze aircraft. This UAV has unique features that set it apart from most of its counterparts.
One of the advantages of Scythe is its flight range – up to 750 km. This allows it to be used to deliver loads over long distances and reduce risks without the involvement of pilots. In addition, thanks to its small dimensions and light weight, the drone can be used in various conditions and for various purposes.
According to the developers, Scythe has radically new strategic opportunities and could become a revolutionary solution in the field of cargo delivery. One of the main advantages is speed – cruising speed is 144 km/h. This makes the drone a fast and efficient delivery vehicle.
The Scythe has dual wings, a 2.3 m UAV wingspan, and a square fuselage that ensures flight stability and the ability to carry large amounts of cargo. According to the manufacturer, preparation and launch take a minimum of time, which allows you to use the drone for the delivery of goods quickly and efficiently. The take-off weight of the UAV is 100 kg, and the weight of the warhead is 32 kg (reducing the range can increase it to 70 kg).
However, it should be noted that the AQ-400 Scythe is a disposable UAV, but the developers are confident that the new drone will be in demand among customers and can find its application in various industries.
In general, the new project of the company One Way Aerospace is an example of how developing countries can use advanced technologies to create a competitive product in the world market.
The AQ-400 Scythe drone could revolutionize cargo delivery and find applications in a variety of industries. It can be used for the delivery of medical supplies, spare parts and other cargo in areas where road access is limited or weather conditions are unfavorable.
