RRDD - First development phase, Proof of concept and competence
Project goals
- Low cost development of critical components and subsystems
- Proof of concept
- Proof of competence of the team and of collaboration efficiency
Capabilities -perform all the critical maneuvers during launch, reentry and landing, including:
- Take off and climb to a specified altitude
- In flight engines restart
- Hover
- Precise landing
Specifications
- Concept: A drone powered by four fixed off axis PEPEk 1 engines
- Total nominal thrust: 4.4kN
- Hover time: 90 120s
- Empty mass: 120kg
- Take off mass: 300kg
- Max diameter: ~800mm (w/o fixed landing legs)
- Height: ~1.7m (w/o fixed landing legs)
- Pitch, yaw, roll by means of thrust variation of the PEPEk 1 engines
