The XMobots Echar 20D is an artificially intelligent superdrone capable of performing a variety of agricultural tasks, covering 7,100 acres per flight. The Brazilian drone company XMobots has received permission from the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) – so there is no longer any obstacle to BVLOS (Beyond Visual Sight Line of Sight) flights at altitudes of more than 30 kilometers or 120 meters above the ground. All this can be done by the company’s Echar 20D drone.
DJI, one of the most popular drone manufacturers with a stable presence, has expanded its drone range with an FPV competition drone by one leap. The new hybrid model combines the capabilities of traditional and racing machines with FPV (first-person-view) and high-speed traditional drone camera, as well as the security and data transfer technology of DJI’s leading drones. .

Regarding vaccines, in addition to whether they are available and who delivers them, logistics is one of the biggest challenges, especially in hard-to-reach places, which is why a San Francisco company, along with the WHO’s Equal Vaccine Distribution Organization, delivers vaccines in Ghana. Zipline is scheduled to deliver 2.5 million AstraZeneca vaccines to hard-to-reach parts of the country this year.
UPS has agreed with development company Beta Technologies to purchase ten 635-kilogram electric-powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, which will be available from 2024, and later expand its fleet to 150 units.
Finnair is also entering the competition for the introduction of electric passenger carriers, and the company has signed a letter of intent to buy zero-emission aircraft. If everything goes according to plan and an actual contract is signed, the first copies can be taken over this decade.
At least that’s what DARPA wants, which wants a simple design. Known in the field of sci-fi, the concept of a jetpack, ie a mini-turbine that can be mounted on our back, has been occupying engineers for a long time, but so far we have not seen many reliable solutions that can be used in everyday life. We read about an interesting test recently, but now DARPA himself wants to see something like this, namely in the field of tactics.
