Capabilities
Testbed for autonomy
The R220Y has been invaluable for validating our core autonomous systems in the real world, with hundreds of hours of testing completed.
Testbed for mission payloads
The R220Y can carry sensor and communication payloads that are too heavy for drones, making it a versatile R&D platform for any mission application.
Transferable technology
The R220Y is based on the Robinson R22, a 2-seat training and utility helicopter. It has a high degree of similarity with the R550X, allowing us to transfer technology seamlessly.
