New VTOL Drone Pairs 320-kph Performance With AI-Driven Navigation

A new vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drone from Massachusetts-based Tycho.AI combines high-speed flight with an AI-powered autonomy stack designed to navigate complex environments without relying on GPS.

Called Halley, the drone can exceed 200 miles (320 kilometers) per hour, travel up to 40 kilometers (25 miles), and fly as high as 7.6 meters (25 feet) above the ground.

It is built for rapid deployment, transitioning from storage to flight in less than 30 seconds through a zero-tool assembly design.
