About PD6B-Type3
PD6B-Type3 is Prodrone's foldable multirotor for cargo delivery, surveying and configurable industrial missions. Interchangeable lower modules accept release or drawer cargo boxes, lidar and visible or thermal cameras, while the aircraft's four batteries can be exchanged without shutting down the system.
The IP44 platform carries up to 20 kilograms and flies for 33 minutes empty or 13 minutes at maximum payload. A forward camera supports obstacle detection, and optional PD-GCS, redundant control links and LTE extend command and data connectivity. Prodrone reports daily delivery operation in Ina, Nagano, and offers aircraft and software customisation around customer payloads and operating environments.
