Hello,
I'd like to build 2 concepts of solar powered fixed wing UAVs. I'm looking for people who are experienced in UAV construction and electronics, including control and communication over large distances. I'd be happy to use Ardupilot APM, dronecell with GPRS/3G and Android phonedrone board for the start and test the limits. I want to beat Silent Falcon and their products with cheaper price and better parameters.
1. concept
Competition - http://www.silentfalconuas.com/Silent-Falcon.html
- payload 2-3 kg
- endurance 6-8 h
- range 50-100 km
2. concept
Competition - http://www.silentfalconuas.com/Silent-Falcon--Heavy-Payload--SFHP--.html
- payload 20-30 kg
- endurance 8-24 h
- range 100 - 1000 km
If you are interested, please contact me. In this phase I'm looking for possible frame calculations and design including some visuals to get potential investors excited. It's not a hobby project, it's meant for commercial use. So far it seems that flying wing design would be the best. I need low noise/vibrations, high stability in winds. I can send more specifications and concept ideas later.
Thanks
Michal
