The SP1, designed by Skypull SA, is a VTOL “Tailsitter” drone that aims to produce clean energy using Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) to take advantage of wind power at high efficiency reducing costs.

The drone has a patented “box wing” design and each wing is made of a multi-element airfoil maximizing lift and minimizing drag for best flying efficiency.
The PX4 powered and fully autonomous 1.3m wingspan drone is capable of producing 1.2kWh with winds of 10m/s.

Skypull solution aims to reach increasingly bigger and more efficient prototypes to address climate change problems, accelerating the transition to cleaner and renewable energies.
