Advantages
Rapid and accurate delivery from up to 150 feet/45 meters AGL
Direct delivery from cruising altitude without need to descend
Ample clearance from ground obstacles
No standby receiver necessary
Reel up empty payload and tether for re-use
Emergency tether release
Our Concept
We allow the tethered payload to free-fall then gently come to a stop before the ground. It is faster than reeling down, more accurate than a parachute, safer and easier than landing.
Just fly your drone above the delivery waypoint, hit “Deliver”, and the RDS1 does the rest.
How it works
1. Takeoff with payload to delivery destination.
2. Payload free falls via tether and gently stops before reaching the ground.
3. RDS1 lowers payload gently until it safely reaches the ground.
4. Payload is auto-released and tether is reeled-up for re-use.
Key Features
01. Payload rapid descent and soft stop
02. Payload status detection (ground | air | drone)
03. Auto pre-flight weight check
04. Emergency payload abandon
05. Transverse tether winding
06. Passive payload lock during flight
