Dragonfly UMR1 Preliminary Specifications and
Performance
Overview
In 2004, we began development of our horizontally configured
cargo-carrying vehicle, known as Dragonfly. Dragonfly's
ability to quickly change its flight options from remote,
to unmanned, or manned result in a well rounded vehicle
with unlimited potential. With the ability to transport
a sizable payload, utilizing a minimal takeoff space,
the Dragonfly is definitely a major contender in the
VTOL and PAV markets.
