Example Projects
FLCR
(Flight Control Research) Platform
Platform Overview
Delta Wing, canard optional, pusher research platform.
Design Features.
Delta wing aircraft designed for simplicity in build and low cost. Canard included, but can be removed with corresponding CG shift. Pusher with camera in the nose for FPV flying. Single engine hand launch at light weights, launcher required for heavy weight (autopilot) weights. Wing is symmetric for a large speed range and neutral speed stability. Platform can be flown at aft CG's for deep stall landings. Recovery is to belly land. V220 is same body with increased wingspan to allow for greater payload and multiple autopilot options.
AAC
(Advanced Autonomous Controller)
System Overview
Highly customizable autopilot capable of highly complex and
demanding autonomous operations.
Design Features.
Autopilot is housed in rugged plastic case, includes power source for LiPo powerpack, GPS antenna, and vibration damping mounting plate. Fully customizable for customer needs. Autopilots net-workable for SWARM or coordinated multi-ship operations.
LERA
(Long Endurance Research Aircraft) LERA Platform
Platform Overview.
Adaptable platform meant to be reconfigured based upon payload carriage requirements. Classic in design makes flying and operating easy and predictable.
Design Features.
Classic design of this aircraft makes flying and operating easy and the aircraft dynamics are predictable. Wing is cambered for operation on condition although moment arm of tail offers a large CG range. Platform can be configured for either hand launch, launcher, mobile, or geared launch based upon aircraft size. Recovery is to belly land or geared landing.
StingRay
Platform Overview.
Diamondwing Stealthy, hi-power-ducted fan platform.
Design Features.
Diamond wing aircraft designed as a low observable target. Single engine bungee or geared launch. Wing is cambered for on-condition operation. Platform has canted V-tail. Recovery is to belly land or geared landing. V200 has a larger wingspan and great aspect ratio to allow for greater flight times.
Stryker
Platform Overview.
Delta Wing, light weight, FPV(first person view) pusher platform.
Design Features.
Delta wing aircraft designed for simplicity in build and low cost. Light weight
pusher with camera in the nose for easy FPV flying. Single engine hand
launch. Wing is symmetric for a large speed range and neutral speed
stability. Platform can be flown at aft CG's for deep stall landings. Recovery
is to belly land or geared landing. V200 is same body with doubled wingspan
to allow for greater payload and multiple autopilot options.
Intruder
Platform Overview.
Classic Aircraft designed for payload carriage at higher velocities.
Design Features.
Aircraft propulsion provided by 70mm ducted fan. Flight times limited to 10 minutes. Low profile fuselage allows for maximum velocities. Large payload bay. Cambered airfoil designed for high speed on condition.
