Prinew is a domestic company specializing in drone manufacturing and related services. Since its establishment in 2017, it has developed and provided drone solutions for surveillance and reconnaissance, surveying, structure inspection, and delivery. Starting with the distribution of educational drones, the company is currently expanding its business area to industrial airframe manufacturing and drone operation services, and is also investing its capabilities in developing artificial intelligence smart drones that combine the Internet of Things (IoT).
In this exhibition, Prinew presents its drone model, ‘Rupel’. It is characterized by excellent portability and long flight time. As a helicopter-type drone, a prefabricated design was applied to the 7ft long helicopter. This allows it to be conveniently stored in a portable case and has the advantage of being able to be operated whenever and wherever needed.
While commercial drones that provide similar specifications and specifications generally support a flight time of about 60 minutes, Prinew’s Lupel can fly for up to 90 minutes. In addition, it can be operated in all weather regardless of adverse weather conditions, and boasts optimized performance for reconnaissance in the mountains or at sea.
