High Efficiency compact VTOL UAVs for Multitude applications
Vibhram is a lightweight, gasoline-powered UAV with a maximum takeoff weight of 13 kg, optimized with advanced composites and manufacturing technology. It can carry a 5 kg payload with a range exceeding 50 km or a 2 kg payload with over 2.5 hours of endurance. Its key innovation is a fail-safe, robust autopilot designed for challenging environments, including high winds. Vibhram outperforms competitors with 2x speed, 4x endurance, and 5x range. A multirole UAV, it successfully delivered 2 kg of vaccines over 42 km in Telangana, showcasing its reliability and efficiency in real-world applications.
