In 2018, Drone Volt will continue adding to its already extensive catalog, launching the new Heliplane (a hybrid professional drone that combines the vertical takeoff capability of a multicopter drone and the load-bearing capacity of a fixed-wing model) as well as a brand-new version of its Hercules base model with a 2 kg payload.

The Heliplane is a professional drone that combines the advantages of multirotor drones with fixed drone wing and with the transition between these two modes in flight, it allows for takeoff runways and landing easily. The Heliplane needs only 1m² to land or take off. It can fly during 90 minutes with a payload capacity of 1 kg.

Drone Volt is currently in talks with 65 customers in Europe, the United States and Asia (37 in Europe, 24 in the Americas and 4 elsewhere in the world), including 14 government agencies, mostly military, police and civil defense authorities. The group is also working with 13 international groups, with proof-of-concept test flights scheduled in the near future.
