Bell is busting into the drone business with our Autonomous Pod Transport (APT) family of vehicles. With all the new advancements emerging throughout the vertical lift space, we are bringing a device that could propel large logistics businesses to maximum efficiency, or even just deliver food to your doorstep. APT utilizes a tail-sitting VTOL configuration and an innovative payload POD that is capable of rotation and translation in flight to maximize its performance attributes. Depending on the model, it can be small enough to handle loads up to 15 pounds, or large enough to transport 1,000 pounds. The drone can already fly at faster rate and provide service at longer distances than its competitors and is versatile enough to transport items for either commercial or military purposes.
