Rotor System

The man-rated semi-rigid underslung two rotor system has been for decades the simplest, most cost effective and efficient method for VTOL rotorcraft. On average, less than 1 hour of maintenance is required per 25 flight hours. Its 19’-6” rotor diameter and 40” tail rotor deliver exceptional lift and control capability.

Gearbox / Transmissions

The gear reduction transmission of the UAV main rotor employs two cogged belts, enabling dependable reductions with very low weight. Wet (oil bath) gearboxes enable the tail rotor to hold the craft steady in 35-40 MPH cross winds.
