We are happy to announce you the launch of our Smartplane drone campaign on kickstarter.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/745804289/smartplane/video_share
Smartplane is a customizable drone plane with Software Development Kit (SDK), and with modular Hardware compartment. You can directly connect 3rd party hardware and start writing applications with SDKs. This enables you to create your own aerial projects and not to worry about the aeronautical and electronics aspects on a drone. Smartplane flies 80 minutes. It can carry your payload up to 300gr when it's simply plugged onto it via USB or Ethernet port.
Numerous drone development activities show the clear interest in the market. However, we saw that most of the attempts fail to achieve an acceptable flight dynamic. Be it flight time or payload, it just didn't make sense to us to have a device that only flies below an hour and even less with the payload. On the other hand, the ones that achieve satisfying flight dynamics were ridiculously expensive. We have engineered and designed Smartplane with performance and cost effectiveness in the center of thought. Be it advanced materials or efficient structures, we are striving for a long endurance and powerful drone –affordable by everyone!
Do you have an aerial project? Develop and fly it on Smartplane! Or just select an existing option from the hardware store.
Naturally each phase of the development, prototyping and manufacturing a drone in serial production, requires a lot of resources. As we constantly look for investors, we have now launched our kickstarter campaign. Looking forward to your support! Please share with those who could be interested…
Best,

James Wright Smartplane drone has built in data link and within Kickstarter campaign are shipped with in-house 4G/LTE camera module for free . Just install it in payload compartment and connect to micro USB port - ready to capture high quality video or photos over 4G. Furthermore you can easily connect any 3rd party sensors /hardware to the airplane over micro usb or/and Ethernet port.
Does it include a data link? If so what does it use eg data radio, 4g etc? If not will it support adding these?
All electronics are located inside the airframe, likewise it has on-board fast speed Ethernet and MicroUSB ports for 3rd party hardware (up to 300 gram)
Looks like the Ebee ... does it also have the servos of the elevons inside the fuselage?
We are using reliable, powerful custom autopilot, Airplane comes with user friendly SDKs.
What autopilot are you going to use?
