NexDrone

NexDrone Concept Vehicle

Brandebury Tool Company introduces the NexDrone, the 21st century version of our prior successful delta, the ExDrone. The NexDrone adds in line twin reliability and a fully retractable air cushioned high impact landing gear.

Construction

The NexDrone is a fully composite airframe utilizing our “glastic” ABS/glass hybrid cowls and hatch covers. The wing is a hollow composite design providing large volume for bladder style fuel tanks that allow flight durations exceeding 6 hours. The boom tubes and tail feathers are carbon fiber/composite.

Power Plant

The NexDrone features American made DA Engines. The standard version comes with two 60cc engines. 80cc engines will be available as an option.

Performance

The NexDrone, equipped with retracting gear and payloads will provide for rapid dash speeds. The air cushioned high impact landing gear allows operation from unimproved fields and “carrier style” landings.

Reliability

Even if one servo becomes inoperative, the flying surfaces can be programmed to maintain flight control. This split elevon reliability combined with twin engines equals an airframe that will get the job done under extreme circumstances.

AeroPneumatics

The unique Brandebury AeroPneumatic retracts come with fully proportional air brakes. This pressure/vacuum system ensures for tight fitting jitter free doors and cannot be harmed by jamming.
