Droneliner DL350 is capable of transporting up to 350 tons of cargo over a distance of up to 12 thousand kilometers
British company Droneliner is creating advanced unmanned transport aircraft. They are already initially developed taking into account the use of environmentally friendly aviation fuel SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), and in the future a transition to hydrogen is possible.
The company is developing two models: a smaller one – DL200 and a larger one – DL350. These drones will significantly outperform current manned aircraft. For example, if the Airbus A330-200F is capable of transporting cargo weighing 65 tons over a distance of up to 7,400, and the Boeing 747-400F can transport 113 tons over a distance of 7,170 kilometers, then even the “small” DL200 can transport 160-200 tons over a distance of 12 thousand. km. And the DL350 will be able to transport 300-350 tons over the same distance! The Droneliner DL200 will be equipped with one turbofan motor and the Droneliner DL350 – with two.
Airbus A330-200F and Boeing 747-400F are the last century.
The creators say that the aircraft is suitable for both civil and military use. They also support in-flight refueling.
