Hybrid Drones Open New Opportunities for Farmers
Drone spraying has been widely used in Southeast Asian countries such as China and Japan with great results, reports sUAS News. Now the trend is spreading to the U.S. and Europe as well.
Currently, we are seeing a significant increase in the number of drones used in these countries because of their higher efficiency. Drone sprayers are equipped with the same parts as any other sprayer: a tank, a pump to push liquid through the hoses to the nozzles and a pressure gauge. But they have limitations, mostly on the size of these components, because of the power required to keep the drone sprayer in flight a reasonable time.
When referring to flight endurance, traditional spraying drones are not capable of flying more than 15 minutes for spraying works. Electric solutions make operators waste multiple hours waiting for batteries to cool down, charging and replacing them. All these logistics produce extra costs.
With +1 hour of flight time carrying 10L of liquid, HYBRiX aerial system is an innovation that makes it easier to work in a much more efficient way.
