General Information

Roleisr

The Edge 130 is a military-grade hybrid fixed-wing VTOL tricopter UAS developed by FlightWave Aerospace for extended short-range mapping, inspection, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Key capabilities include vertical takeoff and landing, seamless hover-to-forward flight transition via independent tilt-pod thrust-vector control, over 2 hours endurance in forward flight, and tool-free payload swapping. It supports military and defense ISR missions providing near real-time situational awareness to ground forces. Its key differentiator is industry-leading endurance among Blue sUAS-approved drones, rapid single-user deployment in 1 minute, and operation in 40 mph winds.
