InView

The InView twin engine aircraft has impressive safety features, together with a 700 km range. It is large enough to carry professional sensors, with powerful on-board sensor data processing, but small enough to be easily transported in a small van. Take-off can be from a grass field, as can be seen in the next photographs.

Above: the inView aircraft can be assembled and tested by two people in less than one hour.

A remarkably safe aircraft, for use in military, state and civilian applications

the reliable InView twin engine aircraft can fly on one engine;

the safety provided by two engines is a requirement of the oil, gas and mineral exploration companies, for Unmanned Aircraft operation Beyond Line of Sight;

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

Above: the lift flap in the retracted position. Here we see the side of the central wing section, to better show the lift flap, before the outer wing section has been attached.

The high lift flaps behind each powerful wing mounted engine, shown above, ensure:

a short take-off from and landing on, a standard runway, an unprepared strip, or, even the deck of a ship;

unusually slow flight capability, ideally suited to loitering around a target area, or, flying ahead of, or, beside a slow moving convoy;

ability to carry a heavy payload, such as extra fuel for a long 7+ hour flight.

Above: the InView Remotely Piloted Aircraft taking off to perform an aerial photography task. Take-off and landing is always performed manually, with the capability to switch to autopilot mode to enable the aircraft to fly Beyond Line of Sight, following a predefined set of GPS waypoints.

Above: the InView Flight Control Unit developed by staff in the Aerospace Department at Manchester University for Barnard Microsystems Limited. This Flight Control Unit, in conjunction with an Inertial Measurement Unit, enables the aircraft to fly on autopilot.

Above: the InView long range aircraft flies quietly through the air to perform another surveillance mission.

Above: the InView Remotely Piloted Aircraft is sufficiently large to be able to carry a high quality digital SLR camera, such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II with a Canon EF 100mm f/2.0 USM lens, as shown above, in addition to a dedicated Single Board Computer that can be connected to remotely operate the camera.

Above: example of camera resolution testing using a Nikon D40X digital SLR camera.

The versatile InView Unmanned Aircraft can be used in a wide variety of military, state and civilian applications. Two engines have been used to provide more safety.

Above: example of plan view aerial imagery taken of the UK MoD Copehill Down Village. This is a reduced resolution image, but since this is MoD property, we do not supply a copy of the full resolution original.

The recommended approach to the use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft is to start with the trainer aircraft and become familiar with manual take-off, flight and landing, since these skills are required as a basis for operation of any Unmanned Aircraft.

We believe the mid-size InView Remotely Piloted Aircraft is destined to become a very popular aircraft for use in a wide variety of military, state and civilian applications due to its exemplary safety features, its impressive verstility and its really attractive pricing.

The InView long range Remotely Piloted Aircraft has been developed for use in research and development work, and in military, state and civilian applications. This versatile aircraft has been designed, developed and extensively tested by the staff at BML to ensure safe and reliable operation, even in adverse weather conditions. The InView can be operated in manual, computer assisted or fully automatic flight modes.
