Universal Announces Delivery of Night-Flying UAV for Civilian Data Acquisition Tasks
25 February 2010 - 1:30AM
Marketwired
Universal Wing Technologies Inc. ("Universal") (TSX VENTURE: UAV)
has taken delivery of its third Venturer-class unmanned airborne
vehicle (UAV), targeted at night time "red eye" endurance missions.
This aircraft will demonstrate that the Venturer design can fly
reliably through the night, taking off at dusk and landing at dawn.
Flying night missions is an advantage for Universal because
lower turbulence (at low altitude) makes flying smoother, improving
data quality. Magnetic field variations are also reduced at night,
improving geophysical data quality. The "red eye" endurance tests
will be conducted in the interior of British Columbia and will be
completed by August 2010. Revenue-generating missions will then be
initiated.
The Venturer UAV is a custom-designed workhorse manufactured
exclusively for Universal by Stratus Aeronautics Inc. of Vancouver,
BC. The first Venturer carries a camera payload. The second
Venturer is currently being used for promotion, and can be viewed
at the Universal booth at the PDAC (#603 Trade Show side).
Universal has ordered a fourth Venturer in which a horizontal
gradiometer (two magnetometers in each wing tip) payload will be
installed.
