The Talon DT-300X is a hybrid version of the DT-300, featuring Rotron’s hydrocarbon-fuelled RT150 aero-engine, which recharges the electric batteries to provide longer battery life and deliver game-changing range and endurance. Capable of flying for up to 5 hours and 400 km, it is designed for a variety of mission types including extended ISTAR, logistics resupply, anti-submarine warfare support, and deep strike.
The RT150 aero-engine can be easily removed to convert the DT-300X into a fully electric platform without the need for special tools or engineering knowledge. With a low logistical footprint, the IP67-rated aircraft can be folded down into a highly compact form factor that fits in a lightweight flight case and can be carried and loaded by two people into an ordinary estate car. It can be deployed from urban areas, remote regions, or vessels and marine platforms.
