Project Description

Who We Are

VPT is building a new type of UAV design for delivery. The multirotor is being adapted for delivery, but current platforms based on this design have difficulty compensating for wind and shifting packages. Our new design, the Vectorotor, moves by tilting the rotors while keeping the frame stable, fundamentally increasing stability in all conditions.
