This would not have been possible without the support of the government and people of Madagascar.\u00a0 In this context drones will find innumerable uses such as accelerating the diagnosis of tuberculosis and ensuring the delivery of vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To ensure the drone making the deliveries does not cause operator injury, ducted fans provide lift for takeoffs and landings.\u00a0 The fans embedded in the wing have a mechanically-actuated door on top and passively-activated louvers on the lower surface to protect people working around them.\u00a0 An additional pair of ducted fans on the trailing edge sit on detachable struts \u201cthat aid in convenient transport and vehicle handling.\u201d\u00a0 They can rotate up to 110 degrees in one axis.\u00a0 Although they assist in takeoffs and landings, their primary function is to provide thrust for forward flight. \u00a0You can see the operation of the fans, covers and louvers in this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vayuaircraft.com\/vid\/takeoff_1.mp4\">short video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Batteries can provide 60 to 120 minutes endurance and a range up to 60 kilometers\u2019 (37.2 miles\u2019) range with a full payload.\u00a0 That payload can be up to 2.2 kilograms (4.84 pounds) and sits on the aircraft\u2019s center of gravity.\u00a0 Besides medical samples, the nine liter payload bay can accommodate cameras and sensors with connections to onboard power and a data port that can connect the payload with the aircraft\u2019s avionics.\u00a0 80-percent lightweight carbon fiber construction makes the sizable payload possible.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11050\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cutaway shows Courier&#8217;s batteries in nose, centrally-located payload bay<\/p><\/div>\n<p>One advantage Vayu claims for its VTOL craft is that it does not need to be hand launched like some drones, and that the Courier UAV can land itself, using its \u201chigh-resolution optical tracking system and GPS\u201d to set down in a parking space-sized area.<\/p>\n<p>To lower costs, Courier UAV\u2122\u00a0mixes custom software, an open-source codebase, and off-the-shelf motors and servos.\u00a0 This enables others to work with the base machine and customize to suit different applications and environments.<\/p>\n<p>Because Courier is battery powered, no fumes from fossil fuels can contaminate samples or medicines delivered by this clean flight vehicle.\u00a0 Wings, fans, motors, landing gear, batteries and payload are all removable, and the dismantled airframe can be carried on small trucks, trailers, or even on horseback, making the aircraft usable in even the most isolated areas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11051\" style=\"width: 538px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
