AeRotor Unmanned Systems is focused on changing the face of mass transportation by bridging the gap between drone and light helicopter missions. The company aims to mitigate both the human risk factor, cost, and limited flight times of light helicopters and the limited payload, endurance, and flight range of current drones. AeRotor Unmanned Systems has designed a new scalable Apus Quadcopter Platform (AQP). The software-enabled AQP is a safe, versatile, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly flying device that can replace light helicopter applications. The AQP offers multi-layered solutions with an emphasis on VTOL capabilities, aerodynamic efficiency, levitation, and operational space and saves up to 97% in fuel consumption compared to light helicopters without compromising the mission.
