UAVOS recently completed a series of flight demonstrations of its converted UVH-500 unmanned helicopter for a customer. The UVH-500 UAV demonstrated efficient performance of repetitive heavy-lift operations dropping cargo of 100 kg (220 lbs) at specified locations and the ability to operate day and night in adverse weather conditions. The UVH-500 UAV is supposed to be operated for delivery goods in remote areas once testing is complete. The UVH-500 is a converted drone which is based on the piloted CH-7 helicopter. The UVH-500 aircraft’s 353-pound (160 kg) cargo capacity is ideally suited for quicker and more sustainable transport time-sensitive deliveries reducing time-in-transit, and operational costs. www.uavos.com
