Parcel Courier Aims for Performance with Enclosed Payload, Fixed Wings, and Tilting Rotors
Blueflite's patent for their "advanced logistics drone platform" was accepted by the US Patent and Trademark Office this month, covering the "revolutionary" design of the delivery UAV. The now-patented aircraft sports 2 pairs of fixed wings and 8 electric propellers mounted on swiveling arms. The central pod, unlike other delivery-oriented drones in the running, carries its cargo in the main fuselage of the UAV, breaking from conventional underslung payloads.
