Founded in 2015, Tech Eagle specialises in developing completely autonomous drones of 1-5 meter wingspan which can carry a load of up to 10kg and use battery power.
Vikram is very positive about drone delivery concept in India and he believes that there is a big need of that right now. Experts believe that the drone industry is expected to be worth $125 billion till 2020.
“Autonomous control is supported by onboard GPS. Live data is transmitted to ground control station, where an operator can see the current flight status and can handle it if anything goes wrong. Once the drone reaches the desired location from a safe height it will drop the package and will return to the launch base,” Vikram said in a recent interview.
