Electric-powered UAV specialist Malloy Aeronautics has teamed with BAE Systems to offer a heavy-lift VTOL vehicle for military, security, and commercial use. A full-scale model of the T-650 Heavy-Lift Electric UAS was shown at September’s Defence and Security Equipment International show in London. It carried a torpedo, but the T-650 has a variety of applications, according to the partners. They include automated logistics and resupply, surveillance, maritime search and rescue, and casualty evacuation.
The four-rotor machine will weigh 650 kg (1,430 pounds), can carry a payload of 300 kg (600 pounds) for up to 30 km (19 miles), and has a maximum speed of 140 km/h. Malloy will deliver a testbed to BAE Systems in the second half of 2022 for flight trials at Warton airfield in the northwest of England.
