On April 10, MicroMultiCopters Aero Technology (MMC) says it “will change the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry forever. Drones will cease to be seen as toys and will become actual tools that will change humanity permanently. After April 10 HyDrone 1800’s three-hour flight time will be but a minimum for industrial UAVs.
“UAV companies that manufacture professional drones are in reality producing ‘toys’ that average 30 minutes of flight time. Serious businesses cannot accomplish much in 30 minutes with their UAVs. But what could businesses achieve with more than three hours of flight time?”
MMC already offers the Phoenix A6 UAV with a 75-minute. The HyDrone 1800 however, a copter that flies for more than three hours, covers a distance of up to 100 km, and is able to operate below -20oC, “stands as a foundation for further development in the professional UAV industry,” MMC says.
