VihangX-1: Fixed-Wing VTOL Hybrid BVLOS UAS Delivery, Built for Distance
VihangX-1 fixed-wing VTOL hybrid platforms combine vertical takeoff, efficient cruise flight and precision navigation for long-range autonomous delivery missions.
Designed for logistics, emergency supply, healthcare delivery, defence support and remote-area connectivity.
Hybrid-electric drive — the engine drives a small generator; rotors are driven by electric motors.
IC engine type — turbo shaft engine.
Why a turbo shaft engine?
- Reciprocating IC engines do not operate efficiently at high altitude due to lack of oxygen in the atmosphere.
- Supports the requirement of operating the aircraft in sub-zero temperatures.
VTOL equipment & forward thruster — driven by electric propulsion.
Operates in GPS-denied environments — Great Ellipse Navigation.
ZFW (zero fuel weight) not exceeding 300 kg — batteries are heavy.
VihangX-2: Pure IC Engine VTOL Aircraft for Long-Range BVLOS UAS Delivery
VihangX-2 fixed-wing VTOL aircraft combines vertical takeoff, long-range cruise efficiency and IC-engine endurance for autonomous delivery missions beyond visual line of sight.
Designed for logistics, healthcare supply, emergency response, defence support and remote-area connectivity.
Rotors — driven directly by the IC engine.
IC engine type — turbo shaft engine.
