The Penguin C Mk2 VTOL introduces the patented AEROFLOW Boom Technology, enabling a 20% increase in flight endurance. The patented technology showcases hoods over the vertical lifting rotors that automatically enclose the lifting rotors while the vehicle is in horizontal flight, significantly reducing the parasitic drag on the vehicle.
The northern border in Washington State is so mountainous that cellular reception is not available, and many satellite phones do not work. For the USDA Forest Service, rangers have to rely on radio repeaters to maintain vital communication — especially during emergencies. As shared in this interview with Stacy Griffith, the Alaska Region Radio Manager, the issue was finding an offgrid power solution to keep the small 100W radio stations powered, regardless of weather conditions.
