While farmers are its primary target, it’s an exciting passenger drone.
, undertook its first human flight test in June.
While the eVTOL is not designed for urban use or commuting and aims at farmers and ranchers, the Recon is pitched as a buy 'n' fly ultralight aircraft with no requirement for a pilot license.Ryse Aerotech hopes the Recon will be a practical solution for farmers and ranchers to get around their large plots of land. By gliding through the sky, they'll be able to access areas that may otherwise be challenging or far-reaching with relatively more ease.
The multi-copter can make both water-and land-based take-offs and landings- therefore there is no need for runways.The battery of the eVTOL can power the vehicle for 25 minutes, or roughly 25 miles , depending on the pilot's weight and the weather conditions. The battery packs for the aircraft are said to be inexpensive and replaceable. Like power tools, they are removable so users can have spare sets for onsite convenience.
Recon is a fast eVTOL. Considering the aircraft's size and purpose, speeds can go up to 58 mph with a comfortable cruising speed of about 40 mph .The eVTOL's control scheme is basic: you only use a pair of joysticks. Its flight control module is enhanced with a technology that can sense and avoid obstacles.
