Syrphus® - The innovative Tiltwing (VTOL) Design
Are you searching for an airframe sollution for Mini UAV (Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle) applications that can
surmount a long distance in
economic (aerodynamic) flight and then switches to hover mode
for close and steady observation
?
While Quadrocopters are operating between 0 and 25 mph and fixed
wing UAVs between 20 and 60 mph Syrphus® UAVs have both
capabilities without losses towards common fixed wing configurations. In general, hybrid
airplanes are based on expensive mechanics and a complex FCS (Flight Control System), but
with the ease of the hoverfly Syrphus® UAVs are performing the transition between hover and
horizontal flight and vice versa
using the full spectrum of velocity
.
The electrically driven Syrphus® UAV is the only Tiltwing/ Tiltrotor UAV
below 8 lbs
MTOW
(Maximum Take-Off Weight
including 10 000 mA/h battery
power
and
e.g. Bental´s
MicroBAT 275
color daylight camera) and that features the ability of
Vertical Take-Off and
Landings (VTOL) from and on water
.
The
small packaging footprint
of the Syrphus® “Io” will be only 28 x 13 x 6 in due to a
foldable wing mechanism.
