Primoco UAV Model One 150 Flies 15 Hours Non-Stop
The ADS-B out feature of Sagetech
Avionics’ XPS transponder allowed for the aircraft to be seen by Air Traffic
Control as well as other aircraft in the area, providing an essential safety
aspect for unmanned systems interacting with manned aviation. The unmanned
aircraft flew 1650 km at an average fuel consumption of 2.2 liters per hour of
flight.
“This was a great demonstration of the
mission endurance achievable with Primoco UAV’s outstanding aircraft platform,”
said Sagetech Avionics CEO Tom
Furey. “It also illustrates how the integration of reliable
systems like UAV Navigation’s Vector autopilot and Sagetech Avionics’ XP or MX
transponders with ADS-B, ensure the safe incorporation of unmanned aircraft in
congested airspace, over long-range, beyond line of sight and at night.”
The flight was tracked online using a
commercial website displaying real-time flight path data from the aircraft’s
ADS-B transmissions, which are generally required for all aircraft in
controlled airspace.
