The world of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is experiencing a real breakthrough, and companies that provide innovative solutions are playing a key role in this. One of these companies is the German Donaustahl GmbH, which presented its new product, the 3D-printed Titan Falcon long-range UAV.
Titan Falcon impresses with its technical characteristics, making it in demand in various industries. The flight time of this unmanned vehicle reaches 6 hours and the range is 400 km. This makes it possible to conduct long reconnaissance missions and cover large areas.
One of the key features of the Titan Falcon is its modular design. The wings, horizontal stabilizers and vertical stabilizer are fully removable, allowing for easy maintenance and customization to meet specific mission requirements.
Under the wings of the Titan Falcon, there are large compartments designed to install video transmitters (VTX) and radio receivers (RX) with sufficient separation. This allows for the integration of various equipment and provides flexibility in customizing the machine to meet the specific needs of the user.
The Titan Falcon’s dual elevators provide a high level of pitch redundancy, making it controllable and reliable in a variety of flight conditions. Fully functional flaps provide a gentle takeoff and landing, which is especially important for missions in confined spaces.
The developer offers a number of innovative features for the Titan Falcon, including a streamlined nose for an FPV (live video transmission) camera and a multi-level panning/tilting platform. This opens up new prospects for using Titan Falcon in areas such as surveillance, mapping, and many others.
Titan Falcon buyers have the choice of three wingtip options (up, straight or down) and tail type (conventional or V-shaped). In addition, the company provides an additional fuselage part that supports the installation of a mapping camera in the abdominal area. This makes the Titan Falcon unique and customizable to meet specific customer requirements.
Titan Falcon, sets a new standard in UAVs by providing a product with outstanding performance, modular design and a wide range of customization options. This unmanned vehicle promises to become an indispensable tool for various industries that require a reliable and innovative aerial reconnaissance vehicle.
Technical characteristics of the Titan Falcon:
- Wingspan – 1.9 m;
- Wing area – 4605 cm2;
- maximum takeoff weight is 6.6 kg;
- cruising speed – 45-70 km/h.
