The InView Unmanned Aircraft System

BML products

The InView twin engine Unmanned Aircraft has impressive safety features, together with a 700 km range. It is large enough to carry professional sensors, but small enough to be easily transported in a small van.

The design focus has been on safety, flight automation and modularity.

The InView can be assembled and tested within one hour by two people. It can take-off from, and land on, a grass field.

  • See InView for more on the InView twin engine Unmanned Aircraft.

  • You can download a copy of the latest InView brochure (2011 Version 18).

InView at a glance

A modular design with an open architecture

  • the reliable InView unmanned aircraft can fly on one engine;

  • the InView can be transported in the back of a small van, and then assembled and tested by two people within an hour;

  • by mounting the engines on the wings, the aircraft can fly very slowly and the engine induced vibration level is reduced, resulting in superior quality photographs.

BML products

The safety provided by two engines is a requirement of several mineral exploration companies, for Unmanned Aircraft operation Beyond Line of Sight.
