UL-550 · Extended-range platform

UL-550

Extended range. Persistent coverage.

A fixed-wing flying-wing platform equipped with a forward horizontal stabilizer and wingtip winglets, powered by an electric motor driving a rear-mounted pusher propeller. Launched from a pneumatic catapult and recovered by a parachute system with an energy-absorbing landing airbag, the UL-550 is built for extended-range observation missions with optical and electronic payloads.
