I don't think there is anything that has a wingspan of 4.5 meters and a capacity to carry 150 kilos of cargo. You have any links?

- 101_101 5y agoYou take multiple trips.
- moftz 5y agoI don't see typical commercial drones carrying major shipments but they could be used for small drops or for ISR operations to check on border crossings or overwatch during other activities.
- GravitasFailure 5y agoJump 20 by AeroVironment with a wingspan of 5.7m and a payload of 13.6kg[0]. A tweet from Spanish police with a video of the compartment[1]. A Vice article about the same drone[2]. At the end it says, "Police found seven drones, each with load capacities of between four and 25kg," which puts the biggest at 1/6th the capacity of this one. Allegedly. For perspective, the Aerolite-103, a single-seat ultralight aircraft with a maximum fuel+pilot+cargo takeoff weight of 147kg and a wingspan of 8.18m[3]. Of course, it's not like police would over hype[4] a drug bust[5].

- GoatHerders2 5y agoPlease stop citing shit.
- skanga 5y agoI still don't se any drone with a 150 kg payload on Alibaba.
- GravitasFailure 5y agoYup. That's my point. Those kinds of payloads are for manned aircraft or Reaper/Predator drones, not something you can just order off a website.
