The largest agricultural irrigation drone in the world
Brazil, being one of the major players in agribusiness globally, naturally invest in technology related to this sector, the psychic aerospace startup based in San José do campus San Paulo is developing autonomous drones in terms of transportation with 400 kg of agrochemicals.
This motorized machine is equipped with artificial intelligence and high-speed Internet technology; Tests with this giant drone are already underway on the farm of the producer Juao Pineso y Maduroso.
One of the main regional wheat producers of Brazil , the story of aerospace psyche was launched in 2022 and only two years later carried out the first public flight of the world's largest agricultural spraying drone with vertical take-off and landing capabilities, which this prototype stood out for its efficiency and economy in spraying process, overcoming traditional methods that coincide with air and tractor.
Human effort and perseverance.
Gabriel Leau, founder and CEO of the startup, explains that the company does not limit itself to the sale of drones, but offers a complete service that includes drone operation, supply of chemical products and maintenance, this allows farmers to significantly reduce costs per hectare.
Inspired by the design of the Blackbird military reconnaissance aircraft, the Harpia P-71, as the drone is called, is a true Colossus equipped with an engine hybrid ethanol and batteries, capable of spraying up to 40 hata per hour and with a flight autonomy of up to 10 hours.
Psyche aerospace does not plan to market the drone, but rather offer spraying, mapping and treatment services of agricultural areas with precision and efficiency, with contracts already signed with wheat producers and farmers in the sugarcane sector. Psyche aerospace plans to start commercial operations before the end of the year with the intention of expanding its team and increasing the production of drones at a cost of 75 million reais, the startup has received significant investments and is ready to face the challenges of the agricultural market.
