Redundant Power System

Each Pelican is equipped with a highly redundant power system, featuring four 25kW electric motors and triple-redundant batteries. This design provides a high level of safety and eliminates single points of failure.

Lightweight Composite Airframe

The Pelican airframe and structural components are made out of high performance carbon fiber composite parts, corrosion-resistant metallic components, and complex 3D printed assemblies using industry-standard aerospace manufacturing processes.

Automated Spray System

Pelican Spray comes with variable-speed electric rotary atomizers coupled with a proprietary high speed centrifugal electric pump. The system adjusts its flow rate and droplet size throughout the flight in order to maximize application efficiency and precision.

Redundancy, Reliability, Autonomy.

We set out to develop the world's most capable autonomous aircraft from the ground up. The Pelican uses state-of-the art 3D aerial mapping and dynamic path planning to know where obstacles are and how to fly around them. Every aspect of our flight mission is handled by our autonomous flight engine. We’ve put our system to the test on over 3,000 aerial crop protection missions — one of the most complex and difficult environments for any aircraft to navigate.

Operate from anywhere

The Pelican can operate from a 600 ft runway, an order of magnitude less infrastructure than previously possible — enabled by Pyka's all-electric propulsion system and autonomous flight engine.
