Operational Capabilities
The BANDIT RPAS is a modular unmanned aircraft system designed to fulfill multi-role applications in the short field takeoff and landing environment. The aircraft incorporates multiple high-lift devices and "all-composite" construction to enable flight operations in confined rural and urban areas.
With the high-lift devices stowed, the specially-designed laminar-flow airfoil allows the Bandit to cruise in excess of 100 knots, reducing the "base to on-scene" flight time and extending its range. The retractable landing gear reduces drag and includes a rugged shock suspension system, steerable nosewheel and brakes on the main wheels.
The powerplant is an air-cooled, twin cylinder engine that incorporates an electric starter for inflight start and a generator system capable of 650 watts of inflight power. An internal 5 gallon fuel supply and wing station fuel can provide endurance exceeding 10 hours and 500 nautical miles.
