Drone-Vertible! - Yanko Design

Linnaeus is a drone designed to monitor plants that can switch between driving on the ground and flying. It has wheels that double as rotors, allowing it to easily convert from driving to flying. This versatile drone concept could become more mainstream as "dronevertibles" if developed further. The designer is Dawid Dawod.

DRONE-VERTIBLE!
BY S A RA NG S H E T H (HTTP : / / W W W . YA NKODES I GN. COM/ A UTHOR/ S A RA NGS HETH/ ) / 01/19/2017

Linnaeus is a drone. A drone that’s designed to monitor large open green spaces to make sure that plants are
healthy and well irrigated, but this isn’t about Linnaeus’ function. I’m more interested in the way Linnaeus is built
and its incredible scope in the drone industry. The rst thing you notice about the drone’s design is its ability to
switch between terrain and ight operated drones. One moment it’s driving on the ground, and another, its tires
open up sideways and the entire gadget lifts off into the skies! We’ve seen concepts like this in the past too where
cars turn into ying vehicles using their wheels, but this feels a lot less far-fetched. The drone has hubless wheels
on the outside that power the traction belt, and nestled where the hubs should be are a pair of rotors that allow
the Linnaeus to go airborne. Pretty awesome, no?

Let it go on record that when these kinds of drones go mainstream, you heard the term ‘Dronevertible’ rst right
here from me!

Designer: Dawid Dawod
