Rotor Technologies Poised to Revolutionize Agriculture with Autonomous Helicopters

The company plans to introduce unmanned helicopters for crop spraying and disaster relief, aiming for market entry next year.

Rotor Technologies has developed the Sprayhawk, an autonomous helicopter designed for agricultural applications such as crop spraying.
The company plans to have up to 20 Sprayhawks ready for market by next year, with a public flight test scheduled in Texas.
Safety is a key advantage, as unmanned helicopters reduce the risk of accidents common in traditional crop dusting operations.
Rotor's helicopters are equipped with advanced technology including five cameras, laser-sensing, and radar altimeters for precise navigation.
The FAA regulatory approval is anticipated, which would allow commercial operations in the U.S. and potentially in Brazil's large agricultural market.
