- Hey, Crew!
Obviously, this video has been significantly delayed in its release. You have my apology for that, but I have been busy with several other projects - some of which must remain shrouded in mystery for the moment. However, here is one of them: a.co/d/aQnTS13, a coloring book for children entitled “DRONES: HOW THEY FLY” featuring Raven and Little Bird. Check it out! Now, on with the show!
In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew speaks with Armen Kueleyan, sales and marketing director for Drone Delivery Canada. He discusses the Condor delivery drone, which has been adapted from a full-sized, crewed helicopter. It is capable of carrying 400 pounds at 75 MPH for 125 miles using a two-stroke, gasoline powered engine. The initial use case is the delivery of supplies to remote natural resource extraction sites across the northern reaches of Canada. The aircraft is controlled from a command center using the company’s FLYTE software package.

Not far from where I live they are testing a large tandem prop helicopter similar to the chinook. I would say the body is at least 6 feet long.
Nice !
Nice to see you posting videos again. Whatever happened to the other host? Is he OK? What was his name?
Agreed. *Roswell Flight Test Crew* manages to find really interesting technology I haven't seen on other channels.
Yeah, we've been through quite a few convolutions over the past few years... I'm still trying to figure out what the future looks like -- but I'm actually sitting in the airport right now to head out to Xponential in Denver, so you can expect more (and much more timely) videos from there over the next week or two...
Ooops... I forgot to answer your second question... Yes, "the other guy" is just fine. His screen name is "Techinstein" but his real-life name is "Brian." Several years ago, when he dropped off the channel, he had a change in his employment status -- going from being an overworked employee to being self-employed. Given his stupendous work ethic and seemingly limitless technical knowledge, he's in heavy demand from his clients and do hasn't had time available for drones.
Thanks! I do try to find things which are out of the ordinary... I'll be prowling the show floor at Xponential next week and I'm certainly planning on getting those videos turned around much more quickly than this batch. Whew!
Someone is definitely going to be decapitated
Yeah, I was a little surprised that guy didn't take the softball opportunity to describe their collision avoidance/failsafe systems to address that (very obvious) concern. Hopefully they've got it handled -- or we're going to read a very disturbing news item in the next few years...
Even the regular size (600) helicopters can (and have been) deadly.
The main rotors aren't the only threat; tail rotors on full size helicopters have killed plenty of people.
