The RS-UAS Q01 is a single-engine remote sensing and surveillance aircraft from the German manufacturer Reiner Stemme Utility Air-Systems GmbH (RS-UAS), which was developed from 2014 as a MALE / OPV platform in accordance with the CS-23 certification guideline .
For 2017 [obsolete] the approval of a second prototype by the EASA is planned and the delivery of the first machines is planned for the second quarter.
history
The aircraft was developed and built from 2014 in the Wildau Aerospace Center by Reiner Stemme Utility Air-Systems GmbH, founded in 2013.
In November 2015, the prototype with the registration D-FQOI took off from Cochstedt airfield for its first flight. The flight tests take place at Schönhagen airfield .
Presented to the public on March 16, 2016 in Schönhagen, the aircraft was exhibited at the ILA in early June 2016 .
A second fully equipped, near-series prototype of the Q01-100 series is about to be completed and flight tests will begin in 2016.
construction
The cantilevered easily swept forward , highly stretched shoulder Decker from carbon fiber reinforced plastic with four each with 90 kg resilient suspension points of the eleven meters wide central wing has a T-tail , elevators with Flettnertrimmung and a far down towed rudder .
The six-cylinder , turbocharged Technify Continental CD-310 diesel engine with 228 kW (310 hp) located in the bow drives a three-bladed Mühlbauer variable-pitch propeller MT 3 with a propeller diameter of 2.10 m.
The cockpit with side by side seats and double controls has doors that open to the front. The main landing gear with single wheels has a track width of 2.47 m and is retractable with stub wings, the nose landing gear folding backwards.
With the wing removed, the aircraft fits in the hold of a Boeing C-17 .
The fuselage was manufactured by Utility Air-Systems in Wildau, the three-part wing and the tail unit in Poland. Series production is also planned in Wildau and Poland.
use
When the engine is heavily throttled, autonomous or remote-controlled deployment for up to two days for remote sensing , surveillance or military reconnaissance is possible . The aircraft can be brought to the scene by a crew or with the wing dismantled in transport aircraft.
Seventeen with a Search Master 400 - radar from Thales , the thermal imager MX 20- FLIR / TV or MX 25 L-3 Wescam under the cockpit and unspecified technology from Textron equipped machines series Q01-100 were from the armed forces of Qatar ordered to monitor the coast to the Persian Gulf and oil and gas production facilities.
The New Zealand company Future Aeronautical Systems Technology (FAST) is working on a system to monitor the 15,000 km of New Zealand's coastline with the Q01.
