New super-fast drone presented in Brazil

Brazilian agricultural and industrial drone company XMobots has received permission from Brazil's national civil aviation agents ANAC to fly BVLOS (beyond the line of sight) up to 30 km and above 120 meters for the new Echar 20D series drone.

In 2018, XMobots became the first Brazilian company to receive permission to fly over 120 meters for the RPA Arator 5B drone. Currently, the new drone Echar 20D has received permission.

The new technique weighs about 7.6 kg and has a wingspan of about 2.13 meters. The drone can be used for mapping, geo-referencing, and monitoring in agriculture.

The drone performs autonomous operations while in the air for 120 to 180 minutes. In one flight, the unit covers up to 7100 hectares with a cruising speed of up to 79.2 km / h. A specialized catapult is used for takeoff, and a parachute is used for landing.
