About WanderB-VTOL

WanderB-VTOL uses four vertical-lift motors for take-off and landing before transitioning to efficient fixed-wing cruise. The 15-kilogram aircraft carries payloads of approximately 1.5 kilograms and can operate for up to three hours without runway or launch equipment.

The system supports electro-optical, infrared and mapping payloads and communications over distances reaching roughly 50 kilometres. Navigation and control features are designed for operation under GPS interference, while a hydrogen-fuel-cell configuration extends endurance to approximately six hours.
