AmeyVTOL is a joint venture between Amey and VTOL technologies that develops advanced aerial robotics. AmeyVTOL’s exclusive long-range hybrid drone, known as The Flying Wing, has a flight range of up to 100 km, and it has state-of-the-art sensors that enable it to capture and send data in real time. Furthermore, this innovative technology can use artificial intelligence to process data and provide faults automatically, allowing operators to make decisions from up above. The drone is not only efficient and silent, but it also has the ability to generate digital asset models.<\/p>\n

Innovate UK, which is funded by the Department for Transport, is committed to the development of research and innovation in the United Kingdom\u2019s railway industry by searching for ideas and solutions to transform and improve train travel. This bid for funding introduced the attempt to fly and operate an unmanned aircraft beyond the line of sight, which includes asset inspections and monitoring at altitudes, thereby taking operators out of hazardous environments.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

\n We are delighted to be working with InnovateUK and DfT on this revolutionary project. We have utilised our expertise in drone technology and data processing to bring to the market something that doesn\u2019t currently exist; we are excited about where The Flying Wing will take us <\/blockquote>\n\n
