India's first 5G-enabled drone, ‘Skyhawk’, capable of vertical take-off and landing has been developed by Noida-based IG Drones.
The startup was born out of the Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology institute in Odisha.
Skyhawk can carry a 10-kilogramme payload, has an endurance of around five hours and can operate through satellites in case an internet link is unavailable.
The drone, if operated at its peak speed, can cover almost 100 kms in 12-15 minutes.
