Featuring variable-geometry wings, body panels made of 3D printed graphene, artificial intelligence- powered flight computers and continuous cloud connectivity, the Druid Aero Prophet™ platform brings together thrilling performance and eliminates the range limitations of strictly electric solutions. The VTAK™ hybrid sport drone uses a state-of-the-art 16 kWh battery and a 2 cylinder gas motor to deliver unbeatable safety and a range. The Druid SWARM™ A.I. system continuously reads thousands of data points in real time, and uses powerful machine learning algorithms to adjust for weather, wind and load to maximize performance. The Prophet platform was developed together with engineers and mathematicians from Trencin Polytechnik Intitut, a leading European university in the area of A.I. and aerospace. “Druid is our dream of powerful and intelligent flight.” says founder and lead designer Milan Svoboda. “When I was a beekeeper in the army I was fascinated by the flight of those remarkable creatures. Today my ideas about vertical take off and landing take shape and form the beginning of a new reality.” The Druid VTAK™ personal sport drone will be available for pre-order this June starting at a launch event at the 2022 AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
