Volans-i Drones Can Travel 500 Miles Carrying 20 Pounds of Cargo at 200 MPH!

Startup Volans-i, based in San Francisco, CA says their drones have a range of about 500 miles and can haul a payload of 20 pounds at speeds up to 200 miles per hour.

Volans-i’s drones are able to travel for up to 500 miles carrying 20 pounds of cargo at a time at a top speed of 200 miles per hour. (A delivery from Los Angeles to San Francisco would take three to four hours.) They are able to do this by employing fixed wings along with vertical-take-off-and-landing systems for flight, and both batteries and fuel for propulsion.

Because the Volans-i drones can take off or land on any flat 15-by-15 foot platform, the company and its customers don’t have to build any special infrastructure to make or take deliveries.

Regulators are still figuring out how drones will be allowed to operate in lower airspace above the U.S. But Volans-i is one of a spate of companies that wants to become a next-generation, drone-based UPS, Maersk or FedEx. – CNBC
