VTOL Technology & Applications
Hybrid Design Advantages
The VARCHAS combines the best of both worlds - the convenience of vertical take-off and landing like a helicopter, with the efficiency and endurance of fixed-wing flight. This unique design eliminates the need for runways while providing extended flight times that traditional multirotor aircraft cannot achieve.
Mission Applications
Perfect for surveillance missions, border patrol, environmental monitoring, and search and rescue operations. The 45-60 minute flight endurance with 0.5 kg payload capacity makes it ideal for carrying advanced sensors, cameras, or communication equipment over extended periods and distances.
