Come see the AirRails powered Transition from ALTI UAS at the AUVSI Xponential in Dallas.

If you visit the AUVSI Xponential in Dallas next week and would like to have a chat to us about how our AirRails flight control solution can power your UAVs or about VTOL technology in general let us know: info@uaventure.com. Simon and Andreas will be there for the whole exhibition plus a few days after as well. http://www.xponential.org

UAVenture - Wingcopter - Spring Teaser

Spring is finally here! This video shows a quick flight test over farmland with a Wingcopter running the AirRails flight control platform. This particular Wingcopter is equipped to carry a lidar for survey applications. Enjoy the beautiful scenery! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40GBSYXZCww

If you are somewhere near Lausanne would like to have a chat with Andreas from UAVenture or Jonathan from Wingcopter, come and visit us at Stand 96 at the STIL – Lausanne Technologies and Innovation Exhibition. Today only.

Wingcopter Partners with UAVenture to Deliver Complete VTOL Solution | UAVenture

We're excited to announce our latest partnership with Wingcopter. Wingcopter is a German manufacturer of a Tiltrotor aircraft and they were one of the finalists at the Drones for Good competition last month in Dubai. http://uaventure.com/2017/02/28/wingcopter-partners-with-uaventure-to-deliver-complete-vtol-solution/

UAVenture and Flyingwings Release RTF Hybrid VTOL Evaluator | UAVenture

Together with our UK manufacturing partner we've released a hybrid VTOL demonstrator plane now available to order! If you're a solution provider or a UAV manufacturer and are looking to advance into the hybrid VTOL space with AirRails this is the ideal option to get an idea about the capabilities and ease of use without having to commit already. http://uaventure.com/2017/02/19/uaventure-and-flyingwings-release-rtf-hybrid-vtol-evaluator/

AirRails enables Fixed-Wing Acrobatics | UAVenture

After our Christmas experiment of getting the E-flite Convergence flying autonomous missions with AirRails we’ve now gone one step further and implemented a rate controlled acrobatics mode in fixed-wing. This allows you to fly the Convergence in the same 2 modes which the original flight controller provides (Stabilized and Acro). In Acro mode you benefit from unconstrained control over the aircraft but at the same time it will compensate external influences such as wind which gives you a truly flying on rails feeling! http://uaventure.com/2017/02/12/airrails-enables-fixed-wing-acrobatics/

Simon Wilks talks about hybrid VTOL in the latest Drone Stuff talk from sUAS News with Gary Mortimer. Watch the interview to get interesting insights into what we are doing and find out why AirRails is the best choice for VTOL manufacturers.

AirRails VTOL Autopilot – Safety by Design | UAVenture

There is an important aspect to hybrid VTOLs which we’ve been working on enhancing together with the AirRails flight control platform. And that is the increased level of safety that can be achieved by using its inherent redundancy capabilities. In the following post we demonstrate the effect of some of the checks (flight test videos) and explain the different safety levels in AirRails. http://uaventure.com/2017/01/10/airrails-vtol-autopilot-safety-by-design/

Outdoor drone testing is a team effort and a matter of clear distribution of roles.

For more than 2 years we have been focussing on hybrid VTOL, supporting all kinds of VTOL systems from Quadplanes to Tailsitters to Tiltrotors. It is amazing how many variations of those main types manufacturers develop for both commercial hobby use. Often they are complex to handle (mechanically and aerodynamically). Our AirRails Flight Control Platform hides all this under the hood giving the operator a simple to use interface. http://uaventure.com/2016/12/30/the-tiltrotors-are-coming/
