Project: AITHEL

Autonomous Aerial Platform

Battery Limits Solution

A new category between UAV and helicopter. Combustion-powered, generator-equipped, fully autonomous. Designed for operations where batteries fail and manned aircraft are too valuable to risk.

Section 01 / The Problem

Energy Is The Constraint.

Battery drones changed warfare. But physics still wins.

Short endurance. Limited payload. Charging logistics. Temperature sensitivity. And almost no onboard electrical power for the systems that matter most — radios, radar, EW, AI processing.

AITHEL removes these constraints by design. Combustion engine. Onboard generator. VTOL. No crew required.

Section 02 / Mission Configurations

Three Platforms. One Airframe.

Model 01 / Logistics & Transport

Autonomous Air Logistics Beyond The Front Line

450 km range. 220–250 kg payload. No crew. Frontline resupply, isolated position support, autonomous cargo movement over damaged infrastructure.

"Move critical supplies faster, farther, without risking crews."

Model 02 / Airborne Relay

Persistent Airborne Infrastructure

Not a drone. Not an aircraft. An airborne communications and sensor node. 10+ hours. Continuous power for radios, EW, radar, ISR, LTE/5G tactical nodes.

"When infrastructure is destroyed, denied, or unavailable."

Model 03 / Drone Carrier

Forward Autonomous Interceptor Carrier

Mobile launch node. Transports interceptors closer to threats, launches at altitude. Counter-swarm capability without wasting expensive missile systems.

"A scalable response to mass drone warfare."

Section 03 / Platform Advantages

Old Power. New Doctrine.

Long Endurance

10+ hours vs. 20–90 min battery drones. 450 km range. Rapid refuel, immediate relaunch.

"Operate for hours, not minutes."

Real Payload

220–250 kg. Military electronics, cargo, weapon systems, interceptor drones. Full range maintained.

"Heavy payloads without sacrificing range."

Energy Abundance

Onboard generator powers radar, EW, AI processing, comms, sensor fusion continuously.

"Not only airborne — but continuously powered."

Logistics Simplicity

Fuel globally available, already in military logistics chains. No charging infrastructure required.

"Refuel. Relaunch. Repeat."

Harsh Environment

No cold-weather battery collapse. Stable output at altitude. Predictable endurance in all conditions.

"Mission capable where batteries struggle."

No Crew Required

Full autonomy in contested airspace. Acceptable attrition profile. Where manned aircraft cannot go.

"Operate where manned aircraft cannot."
