Full-Sized Helicopter Converted to Delivery Drone

Hey, Crew!

Obviously, this video has been significantly delayed in its release. You have my apology for that, but I have been busy with several other projects – some of which must remain shrouded in mystery for the moment. However, here is one of them: https://a.co/d/aQnTS13, a coloring book for children entitled “DRONES: HOW THEY FLY” featuring Raven and Little Bird. Check it out! Now, on with the show!

In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Armen Kueleyan, sales and marketing director for Drone Delivery Canada. He discusses the Condor delivery drone, which has been adapted from a full-sized, crewed helicopter. It is capable of carrying 400 pounds at 75 MPH for 125 miles using a two-stroke, gasoline powered engine. The initial use case is the delivery of supplies to remote natural resource extraction sites across the northern reaches of Canada. The aircraft is controlled from a command center using the company’s FLYTE software package.
