Range-Roving Cargo Drones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This Drone Can Transport Heavy Payloads Across Vast Distances

— December 28, 2023 — Tech
Silent Arrow, a California based company that has established itself as among the trailblazers of futuristic aircraft, is developing a high-tech cargo drone that is designed to carry heavy loads at distances that can range all the way up to 560 km at a time.

Dubbed the 'CLS-300,' this particular cargo drone is designed to have the capability to take advantage of push propeller technology in order to achieve a range that is significantly higher than that of its predecessor designs. Elsewhere, the use of motorized components also makes it possible for the 'CLS-300' cargo drone to be able to take off from a broader range of platforms and surfaces.

With its combination of long range and high payload capability, it's clear that the 'CLS-300' has the ability to offer a tactical advantage to militaries whilst being able to enhance the operations of humanitarian ventures.
