At one of the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan’s Lucknow kiosks, the Vertiplane X3, an all-India hybrid drone, was on display. The drone, according to Yash Sharma, project manager of Tech Eagle, has a peak speed of 120 km/h, a range of 100 kilometers, a payload capacity of 3 kilograms, and can take off with a weight of up to 20 kilograms. “It’s said to be the fastest in the country,” he claimed. “This Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is suitable for carrying commodities for healthcare, defense, marine, hyperlocal, and e-commerce items to distances of up to 50 kilometers,” the company claims. “The drone can fly up to 4,500 meters in the air and endure gusts of up to 45 kilometers per hour,” Sharma claimed. “The product’s purpose is to provide healthcare to people who are underserved.” After a 40-kilometer trip, it provided drugs in Nagaland’s hilly region. It has distributed vaccinations across Telangana while maintaining the cold chain,” he explained. The drone boasts various fail-safe features as well as a dynamic design that has never been seen before.
The product’s goal is to offer healthcare to rural areas. After a 40-kilometer flight across Nagaland’s rugged terrain, it delivered medications. While producing the cold chain, it has distributed vaccinations in Telangana. The DGCA, AAI, and MHA have all given their clearance for the company’s study. The drone can also be used in the marine and defense industries. Simultaneously, it reinforces the traditional logistics supply chain.
