UAV Factory LTD is extending its reach towards research and educational users. The company is actively collaborating with research agencies and universities worldwide and has compiled a specialized documentation package for its Penguin B UAV airframes to meet the special needs of these customers.
This specialized package includes a CAD model of the Penguin B aircraft, engine test data, user manuals and all geometric and weight data necessary for stability derivative estimation. Most of this data is not provided to clients by other UAS manufacturers, which considerably limits the development of the new future applications. With this new documentation package, the number and quality of research and educational applications can be dramatically increased.
The potential Penguin B applications for universities include – PhD research projects, student design projects , control system design projects, payload development and testing applications. One of its clients is also going to use Penguin B as a standard platform for UAV operator training courses.
By combining removable payload modules with the provided CAD model of the aircraft, the payload integration can be considerably simplified. This is particularly important and beneficial for the applications which require numerous interchangeable payloads.
After the introduction of documentation package the company noticed an increased amount of inquiries from research and educational market segment clients. There is now a dedicated website page for research and educational applications.
