This video from Red Cat Holdings showcases the Edge 130, a hybrid fixed-wing Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) tricopter, engineered for medium-range mapping and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
The Edge 130 seamlessly transitions between forward flight and hover. Weighing just 2.65 lbs (1,200 g), it can operate up to 12 miles (20 km) and has an endurance of over 60 minutes, with a typical cruise speed of 15 m/s (33 mph).
Red Cat’s Blue-UAS approved VTOL can be equipped with different hand-swappable payloads, including an ISR EO/IR gimbal for overwatch and a three-camera array for mapping.
