Modularity

ELSA-H missions

Transport of cargo

• Payloads between 25 kg – 250 kg

• Flight range – up to 1800 km

• Remotely operated – BVLOS

• Cargo volume: up to 2 m3 (2.5 m x 1 m x 0.8 m)

• External payload – attachment points

• Cargo environmental control: pressure, temperature, humidity

• Easy to load/unload

Aerial monitoring

• Extra energy on board (batteries, H2, fuel)

• Endurance: up to 9 hours (turbogen-mode)

• Altitude: > 5000 m

• Optional: solar cells 🡪 increased endurance

• Pre-programmed mission (no pilot required)

• Targets: national borders, forests, fires, flooded areas, power lines, etc.

Power generation

• Replace cargo bay with extra energy sources: batteries / H2 / fuel

• Aerial dispatch to affected region (natural disaster, war, etc.)

• Land on unprepared ground

• Provide 90 kW of power for up to 7.3 hours (turbogen mode)

• Return to base when low on energy

• Refuel and quickly restart mission
