JetQuad: Jet-Powered VTOL Drone
Deliver your emergency supplies with our innovative jet-powered UAV.
Explore the JetQuad, the ultimate solution for rapid emergency supply delivery. This compact, high-performance drone features advanced vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technology, revolutionizing logistics and transportation with unmatched speed and efficiency.
Jet Drone Applications
Emergency Delivery
The JetQuad is an ideal platform for the delivery of emergency supplies, particularly suited for high altitude or stormy environments where propellers don't work very well. Quick diesel refuel enhances rapid deployment with minimum downtime.
Law Enforcement
A jet-powered VTOL drone supports law enforcement with effective riot dispersal thanks to the loud nature of its jet engines, which can overwhelm and deter crowds. It also provides aerial pursuit capabilities that outpace traditional vehicles.
Border Patrol
Thanks to its high speed, the JetQuad can be quickly deployed for surveillance and deterrence along borders. Several drones can efficiently patrol very long stretches, enhancing security coverage with rapid response and persistent monitoring.
Key Design Features
Compact Size
The AB6 JetQuad drone is ultra-compact, similar in size to a large suitcase, delivering 840N of thrust from four micro jet engines. Ready to fly out of the box with a shoulder-mounted ground station, it requires no assembly. With no external airfoils, the JetQuad operates in environments inaccessible to propeller-based drones.
High Speed
The AB6 JetQuad excels in vertical takeoff, precise hovering, and seamless transitions to high-speed horizontal flight. Its in-house Thrust-Vectoring System (TVS) enables agile maneuvers, while advanced software supports autonomous flight through pre-set waypoints, enhancing performance for diverse applications.
Fuel Flexibility
The JetQuad drone supports heavy fuels like Diesel, Kerosene, Jet-A, and Biodiesel, enabling rapid refueling in minutes compared to hours for electric drones. Its unique propulsion allows takeoff from various surfaces, and quick-start capabilities ensure easy operation in diverse environments.
"The JetQuad combines vertical lift capability of a helicopter with the high-speed maneuverability of a jet-fighter."
Less Moving Parts - Less Hassle.
We believe in simplicity. A high-speed jet-powered drone must be easy to build, easy to fly and easy to maintain. For this reason, the team at FusionFlight has produced a mechanically simple jet-powered drone containing just four turbines and four thrust vectoring nozzles. These components are combined with a compact avionics system to produce a truly compact but powerful drone.
Performance Packages
Several upgrade packages are available which improve the Avionics or Aerodynamics of the vehicle. Contact FusionFlight for custom quotes.

AVIONICS
Various electronic upgrades are available for interested customers. A SATCOM receiver can be used to allow the ground-station to communicate with the drone via satellite, anywhere on Earth - useful for long-range missions. For operating the JetQuad in rough terrain, a companion computer with machine vision capability could greatly assist in autonomous navigation. Long range HD and FPV cameras are also available upon request.

AERODYNAMICS
The JetQuad may be upgraded with an aerodynamic package. A typical package would consist of a custom shell that is designed according to customer requirements for range, speed and payload delivery method. For example, a Blended-Wing Body (BWB) provides lift during cruise and greatly improves fuel efficiency. With a BWB, JetQuad can fly longer and further, but other bodies can be designed based on the specific application.
