The patent also includes designs for a larger, yet sleeker and more aerodynamic body of the drone, which allows payloads to increase from 20 lbs. to 80 lbs. The design also enables the drone to be better utilized for carrying cargo, spraying, seeding, and adding other hardware attachments for specific uses.

    "The expansion of our patent portfolio is integral to building company assets as well as protecting our unique drone hardware inventions. This patent is key to flight time and performance improvements of the ZenaDrone 1000, facilitating continued development for Agriculture, Defense, Oil and Gas, Utilities, as well as specific applications like crop management, military cargo, and others where we see growing demand," said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

    The ZenaDrone 1000 is an autonomous drone, in a quadcopter design with eight rotors, is roughly the size of a boardroom table, is designed for stable flight, maneuverability, heavy lift capabilities, incorporating innovative software technology, AI, sensors, and purpose-built attachments, along with compact and rugged hardware engineered for industrial use. It has been used in the agriculture sector enabling smart farming, plant tracking, and crop management.
