The UAV concept

  • The Unmanned Air Vehicle has a complex  electronic, communication, sensor and computation systems content, all of which need to operate reliably, for up to 30 hours.
  • Ideally two or more engines, with their associated electrical power generators, provide some degree of back-up, in the event of an engine failure.
  • The successful Unmanned Air Vehicle needs to combine state-of-the-art miniaturized, low power, navigation sensors, communications electronics and digital flight automation electronics, with an efficient, reliable, low vibration engine, on a high performance air frame.
