This designer drone combines the best of helicopter and aircraft design

Drones or small unmanned aerial vehicles come in numerous sizes, shapes, and variety, possessing superior capabilities since they have gained extensive popularity in the last few years. Their compact size and ability to reach confined places to explore make these devices the next revolution in aeronautics.

Latvia-based company Dartz Motorz decided to design their new model with the express function of simply looking cool. Named the Dartz Prombdrone Black Bee, it combines the advantages of a helicopter and unmanned aircraft design while removing the disadvantages inherent in tilt-rotor models.

The Dartz Prombdrone Black Bee project was developed in cooperation with the drone company Fixar with an aim to change the perception of drones as simple toys or industrial assets. In this case, the company wants to create a specific, luxurious accessory for more affluent customers. Black Bee was designed by the famous auto designer Alexander Isaev, who is responsible, among others, for the projects like the Mercedes-Benz G Niva and Hummer UAZ.

Based on the Fixar 007 Outdoor model, the designer drone can take-off and land like a copter and also has a high flight range courtesy of the wing lift, Yanko Design reports. Designers say the transition from helicopter mode to airplane mode is seamless, allowing you to reach high speeds right after take-off.

The photos themselves, which the company shared on the web, indicate that the entire structure is very large. In fact, the drone is the same size as the average person and will fit on the roof of a larger car. There are endless possibilities with the Prombdrone Black Bee – it can be used for promoting a brand, customized on the cosmetic level for the owner’s taste, or maybe just used for some weekend fun.

If the drone becomes commercial, it is not known how the entire Dartz Motorz design will catch on the market. The market for personal drones is growing year by year, but adding this type of equipment to cars does not look like something that will become every day.

However, the Dartz Prombdrone Black Bee will still be developed to provide users not only with usability but also with access to top-shelf design.
