In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Sasha Mela at Venture Aerospace about the company’s design for a 500-pound crop-dusting drone. Built of a light, bullet-resistant foam, the prototype is powered by batteries carried on an external rover used to test its aerodynamic properties. However, the finished design will incorporate a fuel-agnostic diesel engine. A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) design, the aircraft has a 16-foot wingspan.
