AeroVironment introduced the next generation of its Quantix VTOL hybrid drone and the AeroVironment Decision Support System (AV DSS) for precision agriculture.

Matt Strine from Aerovironment was demonstrating their new Quantix at the 2018 Farm Progress show. This purpose build aerial vehicle is capable of raising vertically 150ft. and transition to horizontal where it can climb to heights of 360ft. allowing it to capture approximately 10 acres per minute.

Matt Strein with AeroVironment discusses the new Quantix unmanned aerial vehicle solution. The hybrid aircraft combines features of a quadcopter and fixed-wing models. A vertical launch and transition to horizontal flight allows for 400 acres of coverage and up to 45 minutes of flight time.
