CycloTech, an Austrian company that specializes in propulsion technology targeted towards vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) applications, has teamed up with Japanese delivery company Yamato to develop an innovative new cargo delivery drone concept that comes with a unique tilting mechanism.
The 'CCY-01' delivery drone doesn't merely make use of the standard quadrant of propulsion barrels, but includes an extra pair that are attached at a perpendicular angle. This gives the delivery drone the ability to enjoy stabilized horizontal thrust, whilst also enabling it to do a better job navigating complex wind conditions.
This drone, which boasts a truly eye-catching appearance, is said to be capable of flying distances of up to 40 km and speeds touching 130 km/h.
While currently a concept, it's apparent that the 'CCY-01' is well and truly pushing the boundaries of delivery drone design and engineering.
