2. Payload Capacities & Options
A hexacopter of this class features a modular payload bay designed to swap between three primary functions:
A: Liquid Spraying
Tank Capacity: 16 Liters (standard) to 20 Liters max.
Pump System: High-pressure brushless water pumps (flow rate: 3 to 5 Liters/min).
Nozzles / Atomizers: Dual or multi-nozzle setup (hydraulic or centrifugal rotary atomizers) ensuring droplet sizes between 100–250 microns.
Coverage Efficiency: Roughly 4 to 6 acres per flight cycle (averaging 20 to 30 acres per day depending on turnaround and battery swapping speeds).
B: Seeding Payload
Hopper Capacity: 16 to 22 Liters (dry volume, roughly 15 kg to 20 kg of seeds).
Metering Mechanism: Motor-driven bottom auger or mechanical dial wheel to prevent seed jamming.
Spread Width: 4 to 6 meters wide distribution pattern driven by a high-speed spinning spreader disc underneath.
C: Granular Spreading (Fertilizers/Urea)
Hopper Capacity: 16 kg to 20 kg dry payload.
Control: Smart gate valve linked with radar and flow-rate controllers to match drone ground speed. Prevents over-application during acceleration or deceleration.
3. Operational Performance
Flight Time (Empty / Mapping): 20 to 25 minutes.
Flight Time (Loaded with 16kg Payload): 8 to 12 minutes (standard for heavy-lift agricultural operations).
Workflow Strategy: Because a loaded flight lasts roughly 10 minutes, commercial operations use a multi-battery rotation system (typically 3 batteries and a high-power dual/quad smart charger) to ensure continuous, non-stop operation where one battery charges while the other is in the air.
