The model stands out for its innovative combination of a combustion engine and nine electric engines powered by batteries. Eight of these are dedicated to vertical take -off and landing (VTOL), while an additional electric motor is used for the horizontal flight.
The combustion engine works as a generator during the flight, recharging the batteries in the air, thus eliminating the need for stops on the ground for charging. This architecture allows one hundred to carry out consecutive flights, with all the necessary energy provided by the fuel in the tank.
With a load capacity of up to 45 kg, one hundred performs automatic loading and unloading through a specialized freight compartment. The aircraft can reach a speed of 241 km/h, fly up to an altitude of 1,500 meters and cover a distance of 966 km with a single full of fuel.
The initiative strengthens the committee of the Air Force of the United States towards autonomous and highly efficient solutions for the transport of supplies in remote or difficult to access areas, consolidating the position of the country as a reference in advanced military logistics technology.
