The Libellula

 A rescue and fire fighting Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

An aircraft to save lives

Inspired by the Libellula Dragon Fly, the Pacific Air Fire Fighters from the USA, Canada and Australia have developed the four wing eVTOL Libellula Rescue and Fire Fighter UAV (patent pending). A cross flow lift rotor is embedded in each wing. All four rotors and the thrust propeller are powered from a fuel powered DC generator. Photos are of a 1/4 scale model.

The Libellula aircraft is designed for easy use by a fireman or a nurse in command rather than a helicopter pilot.

In each of the four wings, a lift rotor and electric motor is embedded. A fifth motor drives a thrust propeller, a DC power generator using automotive fuel supplies power to all five motors and charges batteries.

A cabin in the back of the aircraft is designed to transport an injured firefighter, or to transport fire hydrants. Control is through sensors, GPS, LIDAR, cameras, sensors for night vision, flying through fog, rain, smoke or snow.

Whether it is needed to protect the koalas of Australia, the caribou of Canada, or the bison and elk of America, the Libellula UAV is easy and fast to deploy, saving the life of fire fighters, animals, plants and businesses.
