Unveiled at the USAF Agility Prime Virtual Trade Show
During the United States Air Force’s Agility Prime Virtual Trade Show, autonomous VTOL UAS design, manufacturing and service provider Volansi Inc. announced the launch of its newest UAS, the VOLY M20.
Described as a new generation of dual role aircraft, the UAS provides customers with the ability to simultaneously carry 20 pounds of cargo and a 10-pound ISR or sensor payload. According to Volansi, the UAS was designed to meet the exacting requirements of commercial customers that operate in remote maritime locations, as well as military customers who require a flexible vehicle for resupply and ISR applications.
The American-made VOLY M20 has a 350-mile range, cruising at 75 miles per hour, and more than eight hours of endurance for sensor operations.
“The VOLY M20 was designed with modularity and mission flexibility in mind,” says Volansi CEO and Co-Founder, Hannan Parvizian.
“The user experience is a key pillar of this design. We incorporated all the feedback we received from our customers on the need for an easy to use, maintain, and operate aircraft that is capable of operating on both land and at sea.”
According to Volansi, the VOLY M20 utilizes a hybrid flight system that combines electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) with a fixed-wing, “pusher”-driven forward flight mode. The UAS can be configured with the customer’s choice of highly reliable heavy-fuel (JP5/JP8/Kerosene) or gasoline engines.
The VOLY M20 can complete complex missions with minimal to zero infrastructure needs thanks to its VTOL design. Its ability to land at the delivery point allows it to return with cargo such as samples for analysis, diagnosis, or repair.
