▲ 8 r/drones

Hey guys I am in the process of building a diesel-electric hybrid ag drone and we are determining what size to build. We are leaning towards a 60-gallon/500lbs capacity, but also have rough designs for a 35-gallon/300lbs, and a 12-gallon/100lbs capacity size drone.

Design would also feature a quick swappable sprayer system (TeeJet boom), a seeder, and a “cargo bay” option. We also plan to put sling load attachment points on it as well.

All designs would be roughly 80-90% American made, no Chinese motors or controllers.

We would like to launch this drone Q4 of this year.

Two questions for the group, what size most interest you and what is a reasonable price point?

Any other thoughts or ideas are welcome as well, I'm all ears!
