Description
Description | The XRQ-73 is a reconnaissance drone developed to demonstrate hybrid-electric propulsion technologies for future autonomous systems. It features extra-quiet propulsion technology that reduces the drone's acoustic signature and aims to improve fuel efficiency and noise signatures for military aircraft. The drone uses a hybrid-electric propulsion system that converts traditional fuel into electric power to run the drone, providing more efficient and quieter flight. |
