# Unmanned Helicopters Swiss UAV's NEOS300 has a Unique Aerodynamic Design By manzil | Published 2010-09-18 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neos-300 References: [automotto.org](http://www.automotto.org/entry/swiss-uav-launches-unmanned-koax-x-240-neo-s-300-helicopters/) & [swiss-uav](http://www.swiss-uav.com/uav_systems.php) Switzerland-based Swiss UAV has designed and developed an [unmanned helicopter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/helsing-ca1-europa) that combines function with aerodynamic design. The NEOS 300 is a traditional main and tail rotor assembly with a shell made out of carbon composite materials. The nose of the NEOS 300 provides space for [cameras, laser and radar systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-neo-2). The helicopter also has several removable lids for an easy access to [modular electronics and mechanical components](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-pro). The helicopter is powered by a 12kw JetA1 single turbine generating a speed of 120km/h. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarreworld) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unmanned Helicopters with Advanced Aerodynamic Design:** There is an opportunity for companies to develop unmanned helicopters with unique, aerodynamic designs to increase their functionality and performance. - **Modular and Removable Components for Unmanned Helicopters:** The use of modular and removable lids for access to electronics and mechanical components present an opportunity for companies to create customizable unmanned helicopter configurations for specialized missions. - **Single Turbine Power Sources for Unmanned Helicopters:** Companies can explore the development of single turbine power sources for unmanned helicopters to increase their speed and efficiency. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Aerospace Industry:** The aerospace industry can benefit from developing advanced designs for unmanned helicopters to increase their functionality and efficiency. - **Defense Industry:** The defense industry can utilize modular and removable components for unmanned helicopters to create specialized configurations for military missions. - **Transportation Industry:** The transportation industry can consider developing unmanned helicopters with single turbine power sources for efficient and fast transport of goods and equipment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Heavy-Lifting Unmanned Helicopters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavylifting-unmanned-helicopter.md) - [Heavy-Duty Hybrid Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-drones.md) - [Ultrasonic Balloon-Borne Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blimp-drone.md) - [Lightweight Compact Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-neo.md) - [Rounded Bi-Rotor Ducted Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-dronut-x1.md) - [Compact Two-Seat Helicopters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twoseat-helicopter.md) - [Powerfully Propelled VTOL Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vtol-drone.md) - [Triple-Propeller Photography Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-hitop.md) - [Aerodynamic Gyroplane Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gyroplane.md)
