Whisper
Regional monitoring and data collection
The EAMD Whisper is a new and specifically designed sensor platform for smaller payloads, low to medium altitude operations at medium range and flight duration, and features an advanced propulsion concept.
Missions previously carried out by helicopter can now be conducted quietly or even silently with this green alternative.
Significantly lower operating costs mean clear cost benefits. The special design also allows for simple refitting with different sensors.
Key data:
- MTOM ca. 600 - 1.200 kg
- maximale Flughöhe 21.000 - 26.000 ft
- Reichweite 2.400 - 2.600 km
- Speed in operating range 185 km/h
- Flying speed for cross-country flight 250 km/h
- direkte Betriebskosten (Wartung, Betriebsmittel) unter 300 €/h
Ready for market 2023
We develop mass-produced, silent, and green alternatives to helicopters and small aircraft, with high potential savings.
Therefore, our products are more environmentally friendly alternatives
