PD-100 Black Hornet

PD-100 Black Hornet is the name with which Prox Dynamics has named its mini helicopter, a small drone that is currently being tested by no less than the United States Navy in reconnaissance work. Among the most striking details, it should be noted that this device, despite its size, is equipped with three cameras with which you can record and send live video as well as take any type of photography.

According to a number of experts, specifically those in charge of testing the device, apparently the PD-100 Black Hornet stands out above all for its size, ideal to be practically invisible when it is in flight, without a doubt a characteristic that makes it really useful for use in surveillance and reconnaissance tasks.

Going into a little more detail, comment that this mini helicopter stands out for having a autonomy of 25 minutes and it can fly up to 1,6 kilometers away from the controller at its command, reaching a maximum speed of up to 18 kilometers per hour. Regarding the size, we talk about 12 centimeter wingspan of its rotors weighing only 18 grams, if we add the control panel and the rest of the equipment necessary to work with the PD-100 Black Hornet, we find a final kit weight of only 1,3 kilograms.

At a technological level, the PD-100 Black Hornet stands out for incorporating GPS, autopilot and autonomous flight modes that can be pre-programmed by the controller. Regarding the camerasIt should be noted, just as the manufacturing company does, that one of them points directly to the front, another has an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the ground, while the last point points directly to the ground.
