Industrial Unmanned Helicopter "FAZER R"

Contribution of Lightweighting of Body and Functional Parts to Improve Performance, Such as Higher Functionality of Aircraft and Increased Payload Capacity.

The industrial unmanned helicopter FAZER R has been striving to be the best partner in response to changes in the agricultural environment through its innovative technology. Achievement of high-quality spraying performance has led to realization of a reduction in the workload. It features a body made of CFRP and functional parts made of CFRP that have achieved design and the most lightweight. Our company has been involved from the development stage and has combined our unique design and analysis know-how with Yamaha's technology to complete the current part. In addition, the use of CFRP has reduced weight, resulting in higher functionality and increased payload capacity, thereby contributing to improve the performance of Yamaha's unmanned helicopter. Each CFRP part was molded with use of autoclave method to achieve shapes that would be difficult to mold using other methods. We used our own materials and equipment to produce the parts, which contributed to quality assurance and price reduction.
