The Harrier Industrial range covers an ever increasing number of variants aimed firmly at industrial applications, and cover flight weights up to 25 Kgs. Harrier aircraft vary in size and configuration but are most commonly X8 folding frames that are highly adaptable to different roles, flight characteristics and payloads. Common features are a number of quick release anti vibration mounts, quick detach fixed landing gear, custom gimbals and payload mounts, parachutes, proximity sensors and more.
This aircraft shown here (right) is an asymmetric XY8 fitted with a large custom full up / down gimbal and FLIR G300 gas sensing camera. This aircraft can fly for around 30 mins at 20 Kg AUW with recommended batteries whilst maintaining a high level of resilience in difficult conditions.
Another variant (shown left) is an X8 configuration fitted with the RouteScene LidarPod. A set of quick detach fixed landing gear is used to allow the Pod to be easily removed and cased while still installed in the landing gear, making for quick and simple deployment and secure transportation.
As with all Harrier variants electronics are enclosed and protected against interference or damage, with air vents and fans installed as required. This does not constitute weather proofing as such, but will offer some protection if you are caught out in a shower. All Harrier frames can be easily and quickly folded for transportation using the well proven Vulcan cam lever and safety latch system.
