The Fenix concept envisages a fleet of 9 UAVs for high altitude disaster relief, capable to support fast deliveries for commercial and medical purposes, deliveries in inaccessible regions, and aerial fire-fighting. Each drone has 4 non-aligned, electrically-driven rotors for hovering control and is capable to carry a minimum payload of 56.4 lb.
