EANAN has tested the flight of its model ‘Rikaz’ Heavy Cargo Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). This achievement marks a milestone in EANAN’s vision towards commercialising its drone technology. The testing was conducted to gain insight into the drone’s automated flight controls, navigation system and the stability of the communications system. ‘Rikaz’ can carry a payload of 50 kg and can increase its capacity load up to 200 kg at a flying speed of 60 kmph. “We are proud to have achieved this milestone, aligning with Dubai’s vision of becoming a global leader in urban air mobility by embracing cutting-edge transportation technologies,” Ulrich Weckx, CEO, EANAN, said. “By testing the RIKAZ Heavy Cargo Drone’s communication stability, we have taken a step towards comprehending the potential of UAVs to maintain secure communication during flight,” Mashaal Al Marzooqi, R&D Director, EANAN, said.
