Aerial Application with the R550X
The R550X fits in seamlessly to existing helicopter spray operations, and provides immediate cost and productivity benefits.
Overview
The R550X is a remote-piloted version of the R44, which achieves R66-level performance for significantly lower cost.
Benefits
Expedited ROI
- Double the payload of an R44 -> reduction in time spent transiting and refilling (see calculator)
- Improved aircraft stability -> better spraying
- High-level autopilot -> optimized flight path
A drone with helicopter performance
Take advantage of automated precision path planning like a drone, or fly the aircraft manually. The R550X can be flown by a single pilot.
Dependability of the R44 with new digital systems
State-of-the-art mobile ground control station with full “stick and rudder” control. Flown over redundant communications links via synthetic vision with obstacle avoidance assistance.
Eliminate wire strike risk to life
Take pilots out of harm's way. Multiple cameras and LIDAR allow the R550X to detect and avoid wires and other obstacles.
