HYDERABAD: T-Works has successfully designed, developed and tested its indigenous vertical take-off and landing autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which covers 45 km in 33 minutes. It is now planning to test their next version which would have a range of 100 km and a capacity to carry payload of 3.5 kg.
According to a press release issued by T-Works on Thursday, this Airborne Medical Rapid Transport (AMRT25) UAV can be used for surveying, inspection, surveillance, in defence applications and as a test bed for experimental payloads. AMRT25, with a 2.5 metre wingspan, is a hybrid UAV, which can be launched and landed vertically like a conventional drone and could also fly forward like a conventional winged aircraft.
