Multicopters may seem innovative, but their oversized designs are fraught with danger and often just a lure for investors' money!
Contrary to popular belief, unmanned helicopters are less likely to encounter such catastrophic failures. You might think, 'More complexity in helicopters means more potential malfunctions,' but that's not the case. Thanks to their central shaft and a single main rotor, helicopters don't flip over like multicopters do. They also have an added safety feature: autorotation, which allows the rotor to spin and slow down the impact force even if the engine fails.
Why then do we continue to invest in bulky, complex multicopters with unreliable parachutes when we have proven, effective solutions right under our noses?
At Unmanned Helicopters group of companies, we've transformed manned helicopters into unmanned ones. This approach isn't just the safest and fastest—it's also the most reliable way to implement a cargo drone solution that performs exceptionally, even in harsh weather conditions.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.
(and sometimes you cry...)
A part of R&D and building new technologies is mistakes.
This is our biggest mistake to date.
Crashing our $500,000 drone...
HOWEVER, the important part is that we learned A LOT!
We have had a rough road since this occurred in 2023, but we're in a strong new position.
We have PIVOTED from building drones to building payload systems for drones!
But not your average payload system, OURS includes:
✅ AUTONOMOUS Active stabilization in 3 axes
✅ Option to control it manually as well
✅ Propulsion
✅ Multiple sensors
✅ SUPER accurate placement AND pick-up capabilities
