EXTENDED SHORT RANGE RECON // HYBRID VTOL // By Red Cat Aerial
Edge 130
Edge 130 is a hybrid fixed-wing VTOL tricopter. Vertical take-off and landing, a seamless transition between hover and forward flight, and tool-free payload swapping, designed to operate in the most challenging environments.
HYBRID FIXED-WING VTOLTricopter that takes off vertically and cruises on the wing.
INDEPENDENT TILT-PODSmooth transitions between forward flight and hover without interrupting the mission.
NO GROUND EQUIPMENTTake off and land anywhere, with no launcher or recovery gear.
TOOL-FREE PAYLOAD SWAPBlue approved payloads changed in seconds, with no tools.
AES-256 ENCRYPTED RADIOSTighter security between operator and aircraft.
NAVIGATION BEACONSOperator-controlled visual and infrared beacons for safe recovery.
NON-ISM FREQUENCIESRegulated bands beyond public ISM available on demand.
ONE AIRCRAFT, MANY SENSORSNo need to buy an airframe for every camera or sensor.
The future of extended short range reconnaissance
Independent tilt-pod technology moves the aircraft between forward flight and hover without interrupting the mission. Thrust-vector control handles the transition, so the operator stays on the mission rather than on the airframe.
