Description

Light weight and close range UAV system for parachutist group, task force, customs, paramilitary operations. Close range surveillance and aero-sonde. VTOL capacities with four tilt rotors. The system is portable with two operators. Performances come from an aerodynamic design and optimisation, associate with a high tech composites materials structure, and a very low level power input for cruise speed. The system can take off and landing vertically with the four motor pushing vertically like a multicopter, and the system make a transition to classic aircraft flight by rotate de motors to horizontal pusher. The system don’t use catapult.
