Army Eyes Dual-Rotor Drone for Casualty-Evacuation
Posted By: Matt Cox March 23, 2017
Dragonfly Pictures Inc.’s DP14 Hawk, a dual-rotor unmanned aerial system, could play a role in a U.S. Army effort to one day use drones to evacuate wounded soldiers from the battlefield.
The DP14 Hawk, which resembles a miniature CH-47 Chinook helicopter, can carry 430 pounds in its six-foot by 20-inch cargo space for about 2.4 hours.
It has a cruising speed of about 82 miles per hour and is capable of flying in crosswinds up to 46 mph.
