Skyhawk Aerospace unveils C35E VTOL cargo electric UAV

Skyhawk Aerospace, an Indian aerospace company, recently revealed its newest advancements in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at the prestigious 4th Drone International Expo, which took place in Delhi on July 26 and 27.

Skyhawk Aerospace's outstanding offerings were the indigenously developed fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) multirole UAVs Pushpak and C35-E.

The Pushpak UAV, which was particularly intended for military objectives, is capable of undertaking high-altitude cargo operations. This UAV, which is equipped with a skid landing gear system, can fly to a maximum height of 5,700 meters even in "near gale conditions." The Pushpak UAV is designed to function remarkably well in temperatures ranging from -30° C to +55° C, assuring its versatility in a variety of conditions.

Skyhawk Aerospace CEO Jayesh A stated that the Pushpak UAV's development began in November 2020, and that it was largely driven by the Army Design Bureau's (ADB) significant insights and specifications. This partnership with the ADB has allowed the UAV to be modified to fit the special needs of cargo missions, demonstrating the company's commitment to catering to the military sector's demands.

The Pushpak UAV is distinguished by its shoulder-mounted moderately tapered straight wings that span an astonishing 6.28 meters. The UAV also has a twin-boom-mounted tail with vertical stabilizers connected by a horizontal stabilizer at the top.

While the C35-E is an advanced all-purpose fully electric VTOL UAV. This cutting-edge drone is capable of a wide range of applications including border control, wildfire management, wildlife monitoring, cargo delivery, and offshore operations. With its impressive key features and technical specifications, the C35-E is the ultimate tool for a variety of industries and operations. Its vertical take-off and landing capabilities allow for flexibility and convenience, and its all-electric propulsion system makes it environmentally friendly. The C35-E’s impressive class-leading payload capacity and internal volume allow for adaptability and versatility in a variety of situations.

Developed primarily as a medical UAV. The drone’s ability to carry a payload in multiple ways, including with a winch system for underslung cargo, make it suitable for medical delivery operations. A thermal-regulated box can be accommodated inside the large fuselage to carry sensitive and perishable items over long distances quickly. This is particularly useful in rough terrains like valleys and mountains where time-sensitive operations are difficult to perform. If you are in need of a UAV that is versatile, easy to operate, and highly reliable.

The C35-E VTOL UAS comes with countless number of advanced features. From payload carrying options to attaching surveillance/mapping-based payloads.

In terms of camera and special features, the drone has the possibility of a winch system for aerial delivery without landing, and can be used as a surveillance drone with multiple payload swaps (10kg payload capacity and large internal volume allow for a wide variety of optical payloads), and can be equipped with ADS-B or SSR transponder for detect and avoid capability and ATC interrogations. It also has the ability for auto land/auto takeoff and auto return home, as well as obstacle avoidance capabilities.
