Drone Day 2025: Introducing the TW-Neo
May 4th marks Drone Day, and we are taking the opportunity to highlight the wide range of applications for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and to introduce our tilt-wing drone, the TW-Neo.
From infrastructure inspection to agricultural monitoring, from environmental protection to emergency response, UAS are already transforming industries:
- Infrastructure inspection and traffic data
- Agricultural field monitoring and pest control
- Security and surveillance
- High-resolution aerial imaging
- Wildlife protection, e.g. fawn rescue
- Construction site inspections
- Medical goods logistics and delivery
- Disaster relief and support for rescue forces
The TW-Neo Tilt-Wing UAS
Developed in collaboration with the Institute of Flight System Dynamics of RWTH Aachen University, the TW-Neo combines cutting-edge innovation with real-world usability:
- Advanced custom autopilot for highly automated, long-range missions
- Designed for BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operations
- Optimized for long-endurance search and transport missions
- Wingspan 1.8 m, length 1.5 m, take-off weight 8 kg
- Proven performance: more than 10,000 km of flight experience and 300 missions
The TW-Neo has been in operation since 2019 with the appropriate flight permissions, including cross-border approvals for Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
