Kistler offers advanced measurement technology for ground and flight testing of UAVs, drones and eVTOL aircraft.

無人航空機、ドローン、VTOL機の高度な試験

地上試験においても飛行試験においても

ドローンと呼ばれる無人航空機（UAV）は、今後数十年間で大幅な成長が見込まれる世界的な新興市場です。メディア、エンターテイメント、公共安全、検査、監視、農業、そしてもちろん輸送など、商用・非商用の幅広い用途があります。これに関しては、小型カテゴリのVTOL（垂直離着陸）機も存在感を増しており、とりわけ完全電動垂直離着陸（eVTOL）機は、都市のモビリティに革命を起こそうとしています。キスラーでは、航空宇宙分野での60年の経験に基づき、研究開発から、認証、運用までeVTOL機、ドローンや無人航空機を試験するための専門のセンサと圧電式測定システムを幅広く提供しております。

Advanced air mobility & urban air mobility measurements and testing

無人航空機やドローンは、それぞれの目的に応じて、サイズ（超小型から飛行機に近い大きさまで）だけでなく、その他の特徴も異なります。たとえば、運用範囲、ペイロード、高度、耐久性（合計飛行時間）などです。また、翼のタイプ（回転式、固定式、ハイブリッド式）と推進システムも技術的に重要な特徴です。無人航空機には多くの種類があることから、ICAO（国際民間航空機関）では、より一般的な「無人航空機システム」（UAS）という用語を採用しており、これには地上管制や通信・データ伝送機能も含まれます。
