Ewatt Aerospace provided a preview of its EWZ-242 quadcopter UAS at the Commercial UAV Expo in Amsterdam ahead of the system's official launch at Farnborough International Airshow in July this year.

The company was able to share some details about the UAS including its variable pitch system, a gas-powered two-stroke engine and a two hour flight time with a 5kg payload. Its maximum payload capacity is 20kg.

Speaking to Shephard Victor Paciura, overseas sales director, explained the company’s ambitions to develop heavy duty industrial drones because, as he sees it, the likes of DJI have monopolies on the smaller drones.
