UAVOS Successfully Tests Cargo Delivery UVH-170 Unmanned Helicopter

1.7-Hour Flight Covered A Standoff Distance Of 62 Miles

During a trial designed to validate a highly automated delivery flight from a vendor to a destination and back, across precisely pre-selected pathways, UAVOS successfully tested its cargo delivery UVH-170 unmanned helicopter.

During the 1.7-hour flight that covered a standoff distance of 62 miles, critical humanitarian aid that weighed 17.6 pounds was delivered without the UAS having to land, and without the need for a ground control station on the receiving side.

“As we have seen during the trials, the customers can derive significant benefits from the use of the UVH-170 UAV. As a robust VTOL platform, the UVH-170 does not require any additional take off or recovery equipment, which makes it perfect for delivery to remote areas,” says Aliaksei Stratsilatau, CEO and lead developer of UAVOS.

“Besides, the unmanned helicopter has demonstrated capability to operate in windy conditions with gusts more than 14 mps.”

Equipped with line of sight (LOS) data link and satellite communication data link, which supports beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights, the UVH-170 unmanned helicopter has a high standoff distance that makes it ideal for humanitarian and disaster relief applications. The UAS is designed for commercial operations and immediate air response, as well as emergency relief under demanding conditions and tight timescales.

According to UAVOS, the capabilities of the UVH-170 unmanned helicopter address a variety of social and economic use-cases that the company’s customers are requesting. Based on the gasoline engine UVH-170 unmanned helicopter, the UAS has a maximum takeoff weight of 99 pounds and a payload of up to 22 pounds. It flies at an altitude of less than 8,200 feet at a maximum speed of 74 miles per hour.
