Japan’s first mass-produced, dedicated logistics drone to solve the logistics industry’s manpower shortage and provide last-mile delivery
For serving those who have difficulty in shopping for groceries and other daily necessities in areas with declining birthrates and an aging/declining population.
For addressing the shortage delivery workers in the logistics industry.
To leverage digital technologies for last-mile deliveries
AirTruck, a specialized logistics drone jointly developed by ACSL and Aeronext, can address these needs.
4D GRAVITY®︎ center-of-gravity control technology for stable flight with reduced payload jostling
Aerodynamic optimization through aerodynamic simulation and wind tunnel testing to achieve high flight performance
Video and telemetry transmission using LTE communications enables beyond-visual-line-of-sight (level-3) operations and control
AirTruck achieves flight performance that is more than sufficient for real world logistics operations and expands the payload to 5 kg compared to the 3 kg of a traditional platform drone (ACSL PF2)
UX designed for intuitive and easy operations, including a method to easily load the payload from the top of the drone
