Project Details
Project ID: TQ15000370
Programme: 2. VS SIGMA – DC2 Technological solution of an unmanned aircraft with EDF propulsion units for parcel delivery using ML/AI in the final stage of shipment delivery.
Time Period: 01/2025 – 12/2026
Project Description
The aim of the project is to support implementation of urban air mobility for parcel delivery. This will be achieved by a) developing a safety delivery system and b) using electric ducted fan (EDF) propulsion systems for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) delivery drones, which together will increase operational safety and efficiency compared to current versions of multicopter delivery unmanned aircraft (UA), thus contributing to faster deployment of this type of transport and more sustainable transport as a whole. Partial objectives: a) To develop a safety system for the localization of the delivery point, including the evaluation of threats in its vicinity using elements of ML or AI. b) Verify and design the correct application of EDF propulsion for VTOL UA multicopter.
