Schiebel

Schiebel's CAMCOPTER® S-100 is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) capable of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL).  VTOL eliminates the need for runways or for specialized launching and recovery equipment, enabling deployment from ships or other confined spaces.  It is capable of flying a preprogrammed autonomous  mission for up to six hours while carrying a 25kg payload and will carry a maximum payload of 55kg.  The S-100 can achieve 120 kts airspeed and can fly to 18,000 feet above sea level.  To achieve this level of performance, the CAMCOPTER is made of carbon fiber prepreg that has been manufactured to very tight tolerances.
