Replacing Manned Helicopters with Unmatched Efficiency

The ANAVIA HT-100 is built to replace missions traditionally handled by manned helicopters, offering the same grade of ISR equipment, cargo capacity, and multi-mission payloads—but with a significantly lower investment. At its core is a Swiss-engineered 20 hp turbine engine that burns just 2.4 gallons per hour of JET A-1, JP-5, or JP-8 fuel, delivering exceptional efficiency without compromising capability. The HT-100 boasts an endurance of up to six hours per mission and can carry a maximum payload of 130 lbs.

Support & Payload Capabilities That Meet Your Demands

The HT-100 is engineered for maximum reliability, efficiency, and longevity, starting with its dual inter-meshing Flettner main rotors that eliminate the need for a tail rotor—reducing vibration and enhancing stability. Its full carbon composite structure ensures a lightweight, durable airframe designed for high performance in demanding environments.

Frequently asked questions from our customers

Is the HT-100 Subject to ITAR Regulations?

No! The ANAVIA HT-100 is ITAR-FREE, meaning that it is not subject to the restrictions and regulations of The International Traffic in Arms Regulations by the U.S. Department of State.

Where does the ANAVIA HT-100 excel?

The ANAVIA HT-100 excels in high-endurance, heavy-lift unmanned missions where precision, reliability, and cost-efficiency are critical.

What is the practical difference between the ANAVIA HT-100 and other conventional drones?

Simply put: operational capabilities of the Anavia HT-100 are far above that of conventional, electric drones or remotely piloted aerial vehicles on the market today. This is immediately demonstrated in terms of the difference in flight endurance, payload capacity, and operating conditions.

The HT-100 helicopter features a maximum flight endurance of 6 hours and 370 mi, and payload capacity of 130 lbs. Using fuel rather than electric battery power means that operations won't be affected by typical temperature impacts on range.
