3. Market demands for cost-efficient solutions in:
● Last mile delivery;
● Precision agriculture;
● Long-term surveillance.
Existing drones have limitations:
● limited operations in city conditions and/or the forested area;
● short range (multicopters);
● high risk of injury (multicopters) or crash collision (fixed-wing);
● an airstrip or a catapult requirement (fixed-wing);
● long and expensive launch preparation procedure (large drones);
● the high cost of military drones to use in commercial applications.
Problem
