GEOSCOUT AIRd-1 is an industrial-grade, vertical takeoff unmanned vehicle that caters to the remote detection/sensing market and fills the void between hobby-grade and military grade platform.
Single Jet Engine
Single jet engine powering all rotors provides highest payload to flight time efficiency.
6 kW turbine with 90 minutes flight time and 55 mph cruise speed.
Features
Fuel:
Gasoline
Liquid fuel still provides ~6x more energy density even though turbines only use ~10% of the calorific value.
On-Board
Power Generation
400W of on board power generation to meet the energy required by payload. (10kW version)
Variable
Pitch
Fight controls achieved by varying rotor pitch while maintaining constant RPM, allows the engine to be operated at peak performance
Overlapping
Rotor Disks
Overlapping rotor disks allows for a higher payload capacity in a smaller footprint.
Footprint: 4 ft diameter.
