Battery Powered Agricultural Helicopter; Crop Spraying Drones

Around the world, the ALIGN E1 V2 battery powered agricultural helicopter crop spraying drone is revolutionizing the way agriculture crop spraying is getting done. The use of the latest lithium-ion battery technologies and rare earth magnet electric motors, are sending those old fashioned gasoline engines to the junk yard. Nobody will miss the gasoline engine pollution, motor oil, noise, mess, smell, and spending lots of money.

Why is single rotor better than multiple rotors? Most "multi-axis agricultural drones" use small propellers rotating in different directions and various speeds, that produce very weak airflow, causing inefficient crop spraying. Specially inherit to the “Helicopter” design, when the rotor twin-blades rotate, an extremely strong, powerful, efficient, unified airflow is created downward, easily carrying spray directly down deep inside, penetrating plant leaves, weeds, stalks, stems, suckers, vines, branches, trunks, soil and roots, greatly reducing your cost of agricultural crop spraying. Simply put, the helicopter single rotor twin-blade design is the most optimized for agricultural crop spraying over all other crop spraying drone types.

Convenient Storage and Transit

A New Technological Milestone in Agriculture Crop Spraying

Battery powered, auto-navigating agricultural crop spraying helicopters offer many advantages for modern green farming. Spraying nozzles can be changed depending on the plant and crop application type, efficiently saving time, money and manpower. Compared to traditional farming work in which an average person can crop spray 0.24 acres every half hour, the Align E1 can crop spray up to 0.48 acres per minute, 30 times faster and much more efficiently.

Powerful Crop Spraying Inherit To Helicopter Design

The cons of most "multi-axis agricultural drones" are small propellers that produce very weak airflow causing inefficient crop spraying application and much reduced covered area. In contrast, Align E1 is a "two-bladed-helicopter" with the added benefits of larger payload capabilities, flying time and less wind-resistance; but also much stronger airflow, pushing the spray down evenly direct to the plant leaves and roots.
