This model is attracting attention as an innovative design that combines nine electric motors that operate with internal combustion engines and batteries. Eight of these are used for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), the other one electric motor is used for horizontal flight.
The internal combustion engine is a generator during the flight, and the battery is charged in the air, which does not require charging on the ground. Thanks to this structure, the CENTO can be carried out with a fuel tank, and all the necessary energy is supplied as a fuel.
You can transport up to 45 kg of cargo, and automatically perform loads and unloading through a dedicated cargo compartment. The maximum speed is 241 km / h, the maximum flight altitude is 1,500m, and the streets are fueled tanks up to 966 km.
This project shows that the US Air Force is continuously investing in the development of high -efficiency autonomous transportation solutions in a secluded area or in a difficult place, and proves that the United States is a global leader in the field of advanced military logistics technology.
