New Iran-Made Multi-Rotor System Able to Carry Heavy Cargo Up to 25 KG
“The heavy class multi-rotor (D25 model) with 6 engines and a maximum take-off weight of 68 kg and a maximum speed of 14.4 m/s was designed and built at the Iran Space Research Center,” Ahmad Soleimani, a commercialization expert at Iran Space Research Center which works under the supervision of Iran Space Agency (ISA), told ANA.
He added that the system can be used in all types of monitoring, surveillance and imaging missions, saying, “It enjoys the capability to fly automatically and carry heavy cargo weighing up to 25 kg with a range of more than 10 km and has successfully passed all types of quality, performance and flight tests.”
“Using clean fuel and energy, saving time in traffic, monitoring targets from above with high imaging power, job creation and the possibility of providing services to neighboring countries are among the important advantages of this system,” Soleimani said.
In another development earlier this year, Iranian experts at a knowledge-based company had succeeded in designing and manufacturing a drone with a nest-like box which is capable of patrolling and transmitting images online.
“The drone which is equipped with a nest is considered as a very new product in the world, and this company has achieved the technical know-how to produce it,” Mehdi Joudi, a representative of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
Noting that drones with a nest do not need a pilot, he said, “This system consists of three separate parts and includes the drone, the nest or box, and under-web software.”
Joudi noted that such a drone is used for patrolling the mines, adding, “The system works in a way that the users place the nest and the drone inside the complex, and for instance, the manager from Tehran can easily monitor and control the mine by pressing a button embedded in a web application.”
“The drone automatically takes off from the nest and can patrol the mine without the need for an operator,” he added.
“The drone transmits images to the user online. The user can control the flying system to a limited extent, but is unable to crash it,” Joudi underlined.
