There’s Kawasaki’s robotic ibex, and then their new K-RACER-X2 unmanned helicopter drone. Power comes from an H2R-sourced 998cc liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder supercharged engine making 310 hp and 121.5 lb-ft of torque.
The test took place at Fukushima Robot Test Fieldโs Namie Runway, and demonstrated the useful load capacity of 200kg (441lb), the largest ever flown by an unmanned aircraft developed in Japan. The company aims to help solve social issues through its ability to haul heavy cargo loads that cannot be transported with standard drones.

While continuing with the project commissioned by Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, which entails real-world demonstration tests involving cargo delivery flights to mountain cabins, Kawasaki will conduct verification tests of an automated loading and unloading system that requires no human workers in order to establish seamless cargo transport services,” said Kawasaki.
