cargo carrier conception by P_R from czech republic
designer's own words:
Carrier
The conception needs constructing a prototype. The proppelor motors are already being developed and tested in different sizes. In the early stages, it is anticipated with solar panels on the top part of the carrier prolonging the flight due to battery low efficiency. The main body would be a steel chassis covered with plastic shell. Flight height about 6500 ft. In this height you must report to the control tower. The flight, landing uploud and unlouding would be maintained automaticaly with AI.
Container
Steel chassis coated with plastic foil. Attach of conteiner to Carrier would be with hydraulic hooks.
Pros
Lowering traffic on highways – less damage to roads due to lower strain. Ecofriendly - electric. Lower transport costs. Can be used in less developed or badly available areas – no need of highways or other roads. Technology can be used for other purposses (rescue operations, military, etc.)
Cons
Needs development. Maybe not suitable for densely populated areas like Europe due to high flight traffic of light aircrafts. Question of weight capacity and climatic conditions (only development can answer that).
