About

About S50

S50 carries up to 50 litres of granular material and distributes particles between approximately 0.5 and six millimetres across a four- to nine-metre swath. Maximum stated material flow reaches 1,100 kilograms per hour, while adaptive control adjusts the delivery rate against aircraft speed and route requirements.

Dual RTK receivers provide positioning to approximately ten centimetres, and ABZ Sense lidar supports terrain following and obstacle awareness. The aircraft uses local mission processing and an ArduPilot-based flight stack without an external manufacturer-cloud requirement. Applications include seed, fertiliser and cover-crop distribution as well as feed delivery over aquaculture sites.
