It uses a cargo pod as an airfoil. 🛩️
Austria-based vertical propulsion company Cyclotech partnered with Japanese delivery firm Yamato to develop a concept for an unusual delivery drone using Cyclotech's thrust vectoring propulsion system.the company says
it will be capable of precision landing in confined space at the same time as handling challenging wind conditions. Cyclotech's cylindrical rotors spin around at high speeds while several blades alter their angle to direct thrust. The company has performed its using its system, which allows aircraft to rapidly redirect thrust. During that flight test, it used four Cyclorotors arranged in a manner that made its aircraft look almost like a flying car with wheels instead of a traditional drone.This new CCY-01 concept, however, arranges Cyclotech's already unusual design into a completely new configuration, adding two CycloRotors positioned at 90-degree angles at the back of the aircraft.
The aircraft carries a"Pod Unit for Parcel Air-Transportation" cargo pod designed by Yamayo. Though Yamato is developing several versions of the PUPA cargo pod, the one shown off with its new concept design functions as a pushcart and is capable of carrying roughly 30 kg in cargo. The cargo pod is designed to roll directly under the CCY-01 before attaching to its airframe via a metal bar. When in flight, the aircraft can tilt forward to reduce drag and use PUPA as an airfoil.
