This is by no means exhaustive, but more like a succinct starter guide.



Our aircraft fit in the 2-25kg unmanned aircraft category and both have a diameter of less than 3m

(motor-to-motor diameter of 1.07m).


They can be used for all kind of applications and tend to be operated in the Specific Category.

Due to their Maximum Take-Off Mass or MTOM (<20kg), our aircraft would fit in the categories below:


Open Category (A3)
