Cargo drone


Cyclotech, a manufacturer of unusual vertical thrust engines, together with Yamato, the largest Japanese delivery company, are developing a unique cargo drone.

The UAV is equipped with six cylindrical engines operating on the principle of a Voigt-Schneider vane engine with cycloidal movement of the blades. The main feature of the mechanism is that the blades rotate at high speed, constantly changing the slope to provide the desired thrust.

Cargo drone

The project was named CCY-01. The drone has six rotating cylinders with blades — two in the front, two in the back and two more in the middle, located to them at an angle of 90 degrees. The front and rear screws are responsible for moving forward, and one of the pairs is a backup in case of an emergency. Those that are located at an angle of 90 degrees provide horizontal lateral thrust — this allows the drone to compensate for the side wind when landing. Very interesting is the form of CCY-01, specially designed for the transportation of the cargo module "Pod Unit for Parcel Air-Transportation" (PUPA), which was developed by Yamato and is a compact cargo trolley on retractable wheels.

Cargo drone

PUPA is loaded (rather, retracted) into the cargo compartment of the drone between the racks using a special metal rod. Inside the compartment, the wheels are folded. The payload of the CCY-01 is 45 kg, the flight range is up to 40 km, the speed is about 130 km / h, the size of the landing pad is 2.7 x 2.5 m. Today, the CCY—01 is a conceptual aircraft with a feasibility study. However, whether it will go into the series is still unknown.
