This is heading in the right direction
I have a Inspire drone it still operates after 10 yrs ,I go to back to drones when I have problems with flying helicopters, yes drones can become boring Heli,s are great when they are sorted but also they can become difficult this is a military spec Heli so would be awesome to fly. The Inspire drone had to have a lot of maintenance to keep it flying but I am glad I maintained it as the new ones are now very expensive .
DJI Inspire was released in 2014! How can yours be 10 yrs old?
@@pofrani he lives in parallel universe where DJI inspire 1 was introduced in 2012.. lol
nice that it has a three lade main rotor for better stability
Really awesome
ahhh yesss the Switchblade makers👌
Great Company.
😍awesome ~power
i need one!!! or two!!
Max signal range?
I'm flying RC Heli's before from 250 to 700 size, maintenance and constant calibration is a must, blade balancing/alignment, Rx Tx adjustments,. I do more hardware work than flying TBH.
That's the problem with all hobby projects. Once they're finished, maintaining them becomes a full time hobby project :)
same here :)
thats why quads are more popular but no matter what the larger blades will always be more efficient. its the same as a windmill.
@@2muchofyou I agree, large scale Heli's are too dangerous too, it can kill if it hit someone by accident, imagine 5' diameter carbon fiber blade spinning @+2400rpm would hit you.. the main reason I quit Heli.
Rotor is much simpler now without mechanical stabilization.
THANK YOU. USA
good
What is the price?
what good is it without good range? range is same as my DJI drone. its no military drone by a longshot
Payload,stability, range that’s what I need
Not sure why we're going back to the helicopter design for these applications. I think drones by design are more stable , more maneaverable , and I think can also occupy less space with the smaller individual motors. Plus they have way less mechanical linkages. Drones just adjust individual motor speeds. They can still carry payloads and cameras and all sort of equipment . I think its just that they look cooler in the eyes of potential military clients.
The disc loading area of a helicopter makes it a much more energy efficient platform. It is also much more quiet.
@@finlayc121 in this case it wouldn’t be, some smaller single rotors may be but you can easily tune down rotor noise on a quad. This heli has a huge main rotor by comparison and you’d hear it from a long way off
is a private wannabe company that wanted to make ',,toys" and civilian tools like DJI but had no chance against the current market,
so they painted their toys some militar color and asked the actor to wear camo suit, and now they call themselves weapon company to be contractrd by some govs, LOL
@Gabriel Souza I don't see that as a good reason , especially when there are way more moving mechanical parts that can break and need maintenance. but then again im no expert.
@Gabriel Souza durability is not the same thing as capacity
Cool!
Your products are a power-horse too!!
@@nicxonpiaso6199 🚁😊
I don't see the gun mount, haha. I think the quads are supposed to be easier to control.
Side wind will be a big problem for this drone
so glad to see single rotor proven concept is coming back to market. helis are to stay, drones are boring :D
So this is a drone helicopter. I think you mean quadcopters vs single rotor helicopters. If it can be flown automatically, then it is a drone.
this is amazing ... a bit devious but what will the future require? AeroVironment PROCEED WITH CERTAINTY thats brisk and raw 🤨
Analytics!
can I buy it on Amazon ??
alot of people who criticize the intelligence of the makers seem to have conveniently missed the autonomous functions of the aircraft.
ye right, compare to dji? whta if dji decides to paint their drones camo color, and weaponize a drone,
smart company and wannabe company
@@homegeographic5351 Youre mad for no reason, that's the bestpart about it
@@homegeographic5351 looks like you still missed it champ, good effort tho
"Chopper Gunners Ready to Deploy"
Sill got thumb sticks. Please tell what is the difference between this "drone" and a regular RC helly with a raspberry PI and a camera on a gimble. The difference it the price.
Quality most likely
Military grade which mean 100x more expensive than regular one🤣
did you even watch ? almost always its in the programming. good luck getting your pie to do the same.
@@2muchofyou I got my PI to allow real time controls over 3G signal with a 150ms ping. I can control a drone with Keyboard and mouse. I can go further but a good Auto Pilot can do the rest.
probably has a best-in-class flight time and super high grade components throughout, and government entities aren't makers that can fabricate a raspberry pi-based drone using off the shelf parts the way you and me might be. they need a 'turn-key' solution that just works and meets their criteria.
Can this link with the Switchblades? For like, remote targeting? This thing could spot a tank or something and tag it in one area, then summon a Switchblade from a different area and direct it to the target.
single rotor is way more efficient than 4 motors that run fixed pitch props. Also in event of motor failure in a helicopter it can still autorotate and land safely where a quad will just fall out the sky. Heli's also have superior lift power for bigger payloads. Quads can only fulfill niche circumstances, they are also too impractical for full size transportation and implementing collective pitch is just too cumbersome. All the large scale quads only carry like one or two passengers, I vouch that the same amount of energy into a helicopter will carry 4 passengers and have better safety systems.
@@boblatkey7160 All of that is true.
The more blades you have the lower efficiency is.
A slower larger propeller is more efficient than a faster smaller one.
As multi-copter size increases motor speed change for control becomes less effective. Most large multicopters use articulating blades eliminating mechanical complexity advantages.
Helicopters can land without an engine using autorotation. Multicopters either need to be a redundant motor configuration or have articulating blades to land with engine loss.
You obviously don't know anything about helicopters if you don't know about autorotation. Which means you lack the basic knowledge about helicopters to Helicopters can land without an engine using autorotation. Multicopters either need to be a redundant motor configuration or have articulating blades to land with engine loss.
😀 you got me there for a second. By the tone of your initial comment i gathered either your'e trolling or just a pure drone fanboy lol
As you probably know already that with a modern flight controller a heli can be just as easy and stable as a quad. I think the only drawcard for the quad fanboys is the fact that they are so mechanically basic, pretty much nothing to them and anyone can assemble one. A heli takes a lot more skill to setup but I find that part of the fun. I've done so many builds/repairs for people and its very satisfying once the heli is in the air and super stable. Its a nice sense of accomplishment seeing the fruits of your work spring to life.
Lol. You come off like a typical Mac PC fanatic. Here let me clue you in. Im a PC guy. I build my own stuff. The same with unmanned aircraft. And I have built collective pitch multirotors that are not at all "too cumbersome". $1800 cost, 3 hour flight time(electric, no payload), 120lbs payload, and yes, it auto-rotates. Now... Take a retard who buys a DJI or other off-the-shelf supposed drone. They spend way more money over time and cant easily take full advantage of what they paid for.
So, be a man. Men create. We build. Good luck. I build this kind of tech and I dont even have any formal education. 0 credentials. My IQ is not in the top range.
Guy with a laser guided missile:hehe boi
Rc Heli’s are so much harder to learn to fly than a quad.
Future
how will it do against 12 gage buck shot
you only need one pellet to the battery pack and that thing is a fireball
What's is its price
Is this marketed to the military or your average consumer? I am extremely confused.
it said mission critical several times... I think is for military and police use
@@AsaditoUy engrish
Dude! Would much rather you talked to us rather than playing intrusive music. You have a lot to share, so ponder doing it. Best of luck!

Thumb sticks are still a problem. Please explain the difference between this "drone" and a standard RC helly equipped with a Raspberry PI and a gimble-mounted camera. The only difference is the cost.

This is a awesome drone.....
drone is an over used buzz word for simps.
Price
beating a dead horse with this expecting an RC heli to out preform a drone in industrial and military applications where the product just needs to work and be as simple as possible for the end user.
As simple as possible often means greater complexity than the simplest similar thing.
A gas engine requires more maintenance and user knowledge than an electric one but if you need 4 hours of hovering flight with payload in a sub 50 Lb platform; you are not going to get that with batteries and an electric motor.
A helicopter adds a small amount of complexity and maintenance for a large increase in efficiency and range. After you reach about a 650mm frame size multicopters make less and less sense as a platform when you can get superior flight performance from a helicopter.
Multicopters have their place but they are not always the best solution to a given mission scenario.
Who do you think the end user this product is meant for? This isn't a consumer product, it's for professionals or enterprise. Flight duration and endurance is far more important, and no quadcopter drones can at that size can cruise around for 1 hour.
I have idea for you that your drones will never ran out of battery .... 100% working
One Hour Cruise ? How ? I own RC Helicopters (Size 550 / 770) i can fly between 4-8 Minutes....12S LIPO Batteries..
i was thinking the exact same thing. what kind of battery tech is being used here? i know that you can get blades with high washout for heavy lift applications but you're still only gonna get a slight increase in flight time with lower RPM. And just like a full scale heli, once you're out of ground effect, you have to maintain translational lift to keep your efficiency up. at the end of the day, this is still more believable than the little FP heli drone that was popular on youtube a while back, lol.
why?????
can drop-delivery bombs to targets for 1hour full flight. Ukraine will wish for this tool.
Все хорошо конечно. Но я сам пилотировал по монитору и скажу вам готов был шмякнуть им о землю. При солнце это квадрат малевича. Не фига там деталей не увмдишь. Даже применение шторок не спасает. вылод. Или идти в помещение или пользоваться очками или шлемом.
Will these also be used to stack the bodies of nonconforming citizens?
nah. Boston Dynamics has that covered
what is about flight time?
And the video was shot with DJI :D
u need to understand what "mission critical" means... the DJI Drones does not designed for that use
@@AsaditoUy No one has disputed that.
@@AsaditoUy By the way, did you know that the Ukrainian army drops bombs with DJI drones?
Vapor 55 in man helicopter must offer sell to Philippine national police + Philippine Marine it must be capable to arm bomb missile
buying one to get ready for ww3 lol
I sure hope these are a good value for taxpayer dollars.
I want one, without the military grade stuff lol.
a t-rex 700 helicopter with a pixhawk has more capability and spare parts are easier to come by. and you can stick a turbine engine in the belly of the t-rex 700
炸鸡视频在哪儿？
Point of swashplate on an electric helicopter? Instead if it is just a fixed angled propellers more energy can be saved as the motor rpm can be reduced or increased only when it is needed.
what's your question? the point of a swashplate is to provide "cyclic" control. cyclic control allows you to tilt the helicopter in pitch and roll by changing the pitch as the blade goes around, so there is more lift in one area of the blade disc. This is how a helicopter is controlled. a drone has to speed up or slow down motors to induce thrusts and torques to turn the drone. Toy helicopters can get away with using 'fixed pitch' and no cyclic control, because they literally have no cyclic control. some toys just have a little propeller on the back to push it forward. some RC helis like the 'Blade 120 S2' have cyclic control but no collective control- meaning it has a swashplate but is still 'fixed pitch' and uses motor speed for overall thrust control.
@@chrismofer yup forgot the pitch and roll part but that can easily be made by adding some actuators to tilt the rotor assembly instead of using swashplate for the sole purpose of pitch and roll letting the electric engines run at higher rpms unnecessarily. But the point of swashplate is mainly because the turbine engines cant deliver the instant torque change hence always running at their higher rpm and changing the blade angles to alter the lift thereby wasting a lot of energy.
@@clarkkent4872 you still need a swashplate to tilt the disk in the desired direction even with a fixed pitch setup. i have an old Walkera 400D lama helicopter that is fixed pitch and still has a swashplate for direction control
@@clarkkent4872 Electric motors draw current based on load not on RPM.
An electric motor at 100% with no load draws almost the same power as one at 50% with no load.
Electric motors also have efficiency curves that follow the RPM meaning if the highest efficiency is 86% of max RPM a heli actually gains efficiency over a multicopter by having the motor always at that speed. Yes the optimal speed does change somewhat with load but not much.
Last having collective instead of just cyclic actually improves efficiency when in forward flight because it allows RPM to stay low while instead increasing blade pitch as the rotor unloads.
This combined with the cyclic allows the rotor disk to stay relatively flat for any given airspeed compared to a multicopter giving better disk unloading and better lift from forward flight. Ultimately translating to significantly higher cross range compared to a similar size multi-copter.
I am a drone engineer and we have found that helis start to become more attractive than multis at about a 650 frame.
They also get roughly double the hover time and 3-4 times the cross range of a comparable multicopter.
When smaller than 650mm we still suggest multicopters to our customers but over 650 we only suggest it if they plan to crash a lot. If crashes are not an expectation but instead a failure we suggest helicopters since they cost roughly the same but have so much better performance.
more advanced papa
Annoying background 'music'
Consumer demand gives producers some idea of the publics taste, then once the producers think they have the winning combination they stick too it like glue to maintain high sales,,,,, the issue is that the relationship between consumer and producer is now a feed back loop,,,,, ,its forcing things to remain the same so companies do not need to take the risk of producing new or fresh stuff,,, ,Money and greed are now vastly restricting progress and invention for this reason....humanity has greeded itself into a position of stagnation....FACT helicopters and airplanes nothing new here.....KMT
Underrated comment
И опять для войны.
I’m definitely buying one after it gets tested on Russians in Ukraine
$90.000 dollars for that! You can sod right off
Probably cost 100k to military. Same thing a 2k consumer drone can do and they can build in China for 500bucks. No way that heli could out perform a quad drone especially with bit of weather
Battery life is low not sucess
So, how is this different from the four rotor drones? Is is quieter?, faster? Uses less battery? Is it easier to use? Is the sensor package more advanced? If the last were so, then you could mount the sensor package on any drone capable of lifting that amount of weight. I just don't see how this is "so" fantastic to warrant all the stupid music and poor graphics presentation.
is for mission critical use. If u think that quadrocopters r so much better than helicopters, why the army use lat ones all time and doesnt throw it to poor countries and renew her fleet with a lot of quadcopters. (i said "throw it to poor countries" because they always do that everytime with old technology)
Only advantage I can say is being quiter than drones with smaller blades. But a tandem electric dual rotor configured vehicle with fixed angle blades will be much more efficient while being as quite as the tandem turbine engine counterpart with same rotor diameter
@@clarkkent4872 I can add that commercial drones operates on standard open bands like 2.4ghz or 5.8ghz and may have less security on data transmit
This is a strange commercial. At some point somebody thought a 1-hour cruise time was impressive and instead of trying to bury that fact they promoted it with the item like it was something to boast about 😆. Could you imagine only being able to fly for 20 or 30 minutes with a payload? Hopefully these are for sale now at the local hobby lobby for 300 bucks lmaooo

I wish there would be no military industrial complex driving us all into deadly conflict and condlict and conflict over and over. Hell, Multi-Trillions of tax money going into this shady and deadly area while fractions of this finding would be enough to resolve most of global and local poverty (US anyone?), Deaseases and the switch to nearly 100% renewable energy. So sad 😭
This is a copycat of the Chinese "河豚" drone.
lol, that would be really paradox.

lmfao this thing is worse than your average drone and the funniest part is the drone has a MUCH better camera and can fly higher and see further away. This thing is a joke.
Yep, play like school boys instead of learning a proper education. What is unmanned? And how is it unmanned if it is still controlled by a person? See why you should learn what unmanned means? Unmanned is not a word of educational significance if you have no idea whether it is a word used for piloting aircraft, either radio models or full scale aircraft. The correct word to use is pilotless if there is definitely no person, no human being controlling it, even by radio control.
The word 'unmanned' is only used on land vehicles, mostly without engine, e.g. a cannon which is pushed by humans into position and prepared to load projectiles, etc. That is how manned/unmanned was added in dictionaries. But for an aircraft it cannot be said as unmanned because aircraft are operated by pilots even though they are humans.
The name has been given as pilots. You can't say unmanned at all. What if the pilot is a woman, would you say un-womanned? See how stupid you sound. Since it is a pilot and a woman flying an aircraft is also a pilot, then they are both pilots and the correct name to use for any aircraft that flies without a human is called pilotless, not BS unmanned.
Even the pilotless aircraft they now call them a BS drone instead of its original name, Predator, is still being flown by men in control rooms by radio/GPS assisted navigation. Therefore they aren't unmanned at all.
Like I said, spend some time in a school and learn the proper definition of unmanned, don't listen to these CZcams BS artists who think they know F-all because in this fkn Internet, the ignorant illiterates at Google who are taking over the world with their false literacy and even fooling the Oxford and other Universities into believing the Yankee English is better than UK English language. This competition really pi*ses me off. Who the fck are they to brag about what word is right and what language should we use?
Why our computers are not UK, AU, NZ, English spelling anymore? Why Google Chrome doesn't have the Commonwealth English spelling in Australia? Trying to make us Americanized (with the 'z' instead of 's', as in Americanised?). Technology is turning men into 'no spikka da inglisha' school kids, yes? And my dad has always asked me, wtf is happening to this country? It's effed. What could I tell him? Sadly, it is certainly going to the dogs. 🙄
Mick Carson, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
