Can SILA scale to lift a mini? Yes it can

Introducing SILA P8, designed and built to an Airbus cardinal point specification. The test frame provides a 150kg load at a X4 disadvantage, so that’s 6kN lift on 48V DC, max 20A current draw, with no mechanical support through the transmission.

Friction will be their greatest challenge

SILA P9 can do a baby grand … but its not all about force.
