关于我们

CargoTron is a British-Turkish Start-up aiming to revolutionize the express, less than truck load, and business to business aerial cargo delivery over last and middle-mile routes. For this purpose, CargoTron is developing PD250, a remotely piloted one-tonne eVTOL aircraft with 250 kg payload capacity. As consumer demand shifts further and further towards e-commerce, B2B transactions that must be delivered by less-than-truck-load, or LTL freight shipping, have increased at the same time. Because of this, small to medium sized businesses will have an increasing demand for express LTL shipping services to timely deliver their products to their customers. However, this demand is constrained by the congested ground transport, especially in and around urban areas. According to Drone Industry Insights (DroneII) website, the combination of direct, first-mile/ last-mile, mid-mile/ feeder, and hub forwarding will be a key component for the logistics and success of drone delivery. With its 600 km range, PD250 is designed to operate not only over the last mile, but also the middle mile. It flies directly from regional or consolidation hubs of Logistic Service Provider's (LSP) or Third Party Logistics Provider's (3PL) to customers' premises. PD250 may serve any business that can spare 13 meter diameter area in their backyards or rooftops for safe take-off and landing. That is about one-third of the landing area required by competition.

    #nato was formed in 1947 to be the counterweight to potential German attacks and Soviet expansion in Europe. Since then, its mission has widened to cover all threats to member states and other oppressed nations. Only once has Article 5 been invoked. That was after the dreadful 9/11 attack in NYC when all members came to the support of the USA. It seems "The times, they are a changin" and perhaps NATO needs to change too. CargoTron are ready to be part of that change. #ukraine #russia #war #defense

    eVTOL aircraft inherently carry significant dead-weight to enable both vertical takeoff and landing like a helicopter and efficient cruise flight like a fixed-wing aircraft. Optimizing this mass to enhance redundancy in flight-critical systems is essential for operational safety and reliability. The PD250 is equipped with six lifting propellers and features a fault-tolerant design that allows it to sustain the loss of a single propeller-motor assembly while maintaining controlled flight. In a worst-case scenario, the aircraft can still execute a safe landing with two inoperative propeller-motor units, provided that they are on opposite sides. The PD250 stands out as not only the most operationally efficient but also one of the safest eVTOL cargo platforms available. #PD250 #flightsafety #CargoTron

    Aviation authorities such as the FAA and the UK’s CAA warn of the hurricane-force downwash and outwash (DWOW) generated by eVTOL aircraft. These forces are expected to exceed most air velocity safety thresholds for people near landing zones, necessitating a reconsideration of vertiport design standards. This concern also fuels skepticism about using existing buildings and parking lots as landing sites. "Disc loading"—the weight each lifting propeller supports—directly influences an aircraft’s DWOW. With six 2.4-meter-diameter lifting propellers, the PD250 boasts the lowest disc loading in its class, significantly reducing downwash and outwash effects. CargoTron’s PD250 is designed with purpose-driven specifications: a 1-tonne maximum takeoff weight and a 250 kg payload. These figures are not arbitrary but optimized to ensure DWOW remains within safe limits, allowing the PD250 to operate efficiently in backyards, rooftops, and parking lots while facilitating B2B, less-than-truckload (LTL), and express cargo transport. #PD250 #CargoTron #DWOW

    In modern warfare, battlefield logistics are crucial for supporting military operations effectively and efficiently. At the forefront of this logistical network is the critical task of replenishing small units engaged in combat. Frontline replenishment is essential for maintaining operational tempo and ensuring continuous access to vital supplies like ammunition, food, medical resources, and fuel. During wartime, the PD250 stands out as an invaluable asset for frontline replenishment, thanks to its unique and innovative features. #Warfare #Logistics #MilitaryOperations #FrontlineReplenishment #PD250
