Designed using unique fluid dynamics the fuselage gives both volume and extremely good aircraft stability. This allows for high precision camera and lens packages and highly efficient imaging runs. The modular nature of the payloads allows for quick sensor interchange and easy upgrade as better technology becomes available. A history with skid landings has firmly taught us that parachute recovery is the best option for commercial UAV operations.
Customers cannot be expected to factor in launch and recovery criteria for you and the real world is full of obstacles and rough surfaces. In addition to landing safely and with minimal impact under parachute, the AreoHawk autopilot will also recover consistently to a preselected point. The system constantly assesses windspeed and direction to compute the optimal release point, thereby drifting down to your desired location
