Redesigned Sabrewing Cargo Drone Can Carry Much More
Sabrewing cargo drone has a range of up to 1,000 nm and a useful load of 8,000 lbs.

Unmanned cargo aircraft company Sabrewing announced at EAA AirVenture this week that a redesign of its all-composite Rhaegal VTOL aircraft will allow it to increase maximum takeoff weight from 3,000 to 8,000 pounds, giving the aircraft a maximum useful load of 6,000 pounds when operated with conventional takeoff and landing. Sabrewing CEO Ed De Reyes said the performance increase resulted from redesigning the aircraft’s landing gear.
