Overview

A hybrid crop-protection drone that sprays 60 L or spreads 85 L, powered by a 16 kW onboard generator.

The Vertex X-PC2W is a gasoline-electric hybrid crop-protection drone. A 342 cc twin-cylinder engine drives a 16 kW generator, and the aircraft sprays 60 L or spreads 85 L per load at up to 32 L/min.

At an application rate of 60 L/ha it covers about 12 hectares per hour, with RTK positioning, radar obstacle avoidance and IP67-rated core modules. A 14 L fuel tank and average consumption of 12.5 L/h make time per tank easy to plan.

Key features

  • Gasoline-electric hybrid power — a 342 cc engine drives a 16 kW generator
  • Sprays 60 L or spreads 85 L per load
  • Up to 32 L/min through two centrifugal nozzles fed by two impeller pumps
  • About 12 hectares per hour at 60 L/ha, with a 6–9 m swath at 7 m/s
  • RTK positioning, autonomous flight and radar obstacle avoidance
  • IP67 core modules — down to −40 °C with the optional self-heating battery
