Pipistrel seeks to revolutionise future logistics and aerial cargo delivery missions with its Nuuva V300 concept, as Khalem Chapman explains
Slovenia-based light aircraft manufacturer, Pipistrel, unveiled its Nuuva series of autonomous electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The flagship of this family is the V300, which is described by the company as a long-range, large-capacity, a heavyweight autonomous platform that will be used in support of logistics and aerial cargo delivery operations.
Pipistrel has identified the air cargo market as a business area that could benefit greatly from eVTOL UAVs, adding that it believes it “is ripe for disruption with highly efficient and economical vehicles, such as the Nuuva V300”. The design and development of this family of systems have been heavily informed by the experience the company gained during its 801 eVTOL urban air mobility (UAM) project.
