Bell’s
Autonomous Pod Transport Carries 110 lbs Payload
In December, the Bell Autonomous Pod Transport flew with 110 lbs.
of payload over an 8-mile route at Bell’s testing site near Fort Worth, Texas.
To date, the APT flight test program has completed over 300 flights.
In 2021, APT will demonstrate several military and commercial operations
while simplifying user interfaces and enhancing the aircraft’s autonomous
features.
“The APT flight test team continues to push the capabilities of our
aircraft, and we are excited to hit this milestone,” said John Wittmaak,
program manager, UAS. “This is yet another example of how Bell continues to
adapt to customer needs.”
Bell’s APT 70 can transport military goods from base to base
or integrate seamlessly into business operations. Customers can carry up to 36
MREs, 72 water bottles, 64 magazines of 5.56 ammunition and a gallon of fuel
using this flying vehicle. Developed by our talented, innovative teams, APT
delivers mobility without the cost, footprint or specialized training.
