sUAS PERFORMANCE PREDICTION SOFTWARE
Take the guess-work out of aircraft design, mission planning, and payload sizing. We’ve developed this tool for both aircraft designers and operators to determine the optimal range & endurance based on aerodynamic, environmental, and physical properties.
TRL 8
-
Accuracy upwards of 95%
Rapid assessment of configuration changes such as added payload weight, power consumption, or battery
Accurate prediction of battery mass as well as AUW (all-up-weight)
Runs on Web, MacOS, Windows and Linux
View multiple aircraft configurations side by side with tabbed UI
Save and load aircraft configuration files as well as view multiple side by side
Export results directly to CSV
Export ardupilot parameter file (with TECS, battery, airspeed, and landing parameters pre-filled)
Export a PDF spec sheet for the exact configuration
-
Determine difference in range between different battery and payload options
Determine difference in endurance between different battery and payload options
Minimize ArduPilot/PX4 setup time with exported parameters
Determine if an airframe will be hand-launchable and belly-landable based on stall speed and wingloading
Determine increase/decrease in climb rate based on increase/decrease in weight and/or power
Optimize new aircraft designs for minimized drag and maximized range/endurance
Easily provide customers/stakeholders with a variety of flight performance stats based on varying configurations of the airframe
Compare differences in performance at high altitude vs low altitude or different air densities
