Urban Aeronautics AirMule Cargo Drone

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 14 of January , 2010 at 1:14 am

Danger Room already made the joke about this thing looking like a Star Wars landspeeder, but whatever you think it looks like, it is pretty sweet. Hovering on two giant ducted fans, the drone (from Israeli company Urban Aeronautics) is designed to be an unmanned cargo hauler and ambulance. It recently completed hover tests, and the next step is to get it moving around on its own… I hope it has a better time of it than this thing did.

very exciting, wonder if it hovers in ground effect or if it actaully lifts off via vertical thrust alone.
