The FT-100 Horus is an unmanned aerial vehicle produced by the Brazilian manufacturer FT Sistemas SA
history
The FT-100 was developed in response to a request from the Brazilian Army for a light UAV for short range. The FT-100 is designed as a shoulder wing wing and has a conventional tail unit. The drone has no landing gear and therefore has to be started by hand. The landing takes place on a parachute. An electric motor drives a pull propeller and enables a flight time of 2 hours.
Military use
- four copies were exported to an undisclosed African country
