Important results from the project
In Sverige there are several drone manufacturers for different purposes and segments, and a common challenge for several actors in the drone segment from 100 kg to 1000 kg take off weight is to find suitable rotor blades. The projektet Bladerunner has demonstrated that it is possible to design and manufacture high-performance rotor blades with a domestic value chain.
Expected long term effects
A cost picture for domestic rotor blades has been developed in the project and based on these conclusions, the idea is to gather several users with common needs around rotor blades in a continuation project where development takes place and a prototype is produced.
Approach and implementation
** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** For being a smaller project, the project is strongly anchored with partners from the user, a material supplier, manufacturing industry and an institute. All parties have contributed to achieving the project goals and to the confidence that high-performance rotor blades in a domestic value chain are entirely possible to produce.
