Dam, lockhead martin?
Actually we're consistently getting around 55 minutes with a 200g payload outside in the elements. No trickery, no fancy battery, just pure engineering from the ground up.Capable of flying for 40 minutes...??? What are they powering it with, a nuclear fuel cell?
Sorry, not even close.Motors and props look suspiciously like DJI S800 units and the center body work similar to a Droidworx CX4, I think Lockhead has been following the multirotor hobby market and cherry picked the features of their unit from what's already out there.
Actually you might be surprised. Of course it's more than a hobby grade system. Units start at $25K. This is for full wp nav, failsafes, autonomous flight, 10km range etc... We're just starting a beta program but have plans to release in Q1 of next year.I can't imagine the price being less than well into the 5 figure range especially if they're targeting first responders and government agencies as their marketplace.
Why thank you. I'm obviously biased but I think it looks much better than our competition, the AV Qube. Gotta love the handcontroller with the 8.5in outdoor readable screen. Too much fun.Politacal correct or not...this is a sexy little bastard....and did you check that damn sweet remote control ?
Need input! Need input! - Some rough battery/motor/prop specs?Actually we're consistently getting around 55 minutes with a 200g payload outside in the elements. No trickery, no fancy battery, just pure engineering from the ground up.
Manufacturer of the screen?...the 8.5in outdoor readable screen.
it's lovely, funny how small and un-clunky things can get when you have a MASSIVE r&d budget to rely on.
Manufacturer of the screen?
Sorry guys, I've already probably said too much. Here is our official flyer on the vehicle:
