PLATFORM

High-Speed Pusher

A long-body, pusher-configuration aircraft built around rapid response, recoverability, and a modular internal architecture. The platform is an integrated system — airframe, propulsion, power, and flight electronics are engineered together, not assembled from unrelated parts.

01System Architecture

Four Integrated Subsystems

Select a subsystem below or on the diagram to highlight it. Every subsystem is fully described in the list regardless of selection.

Illustrative schematic — not a scaled engineering drawing or product render.

  • Airframe

    A long, aerodynamic body designed to minimize mass while preserving structural rigidity.

    • 3D-printed PLE-CF unibody shell
    • Carbon-fiber structural framework mated to the shell
    • Internal carbon-fiber reinforcement for flight stability
  • Propulsion

    Four rear-mounted propellers in a horizontal pusher configuration, tuned for forward speed.

    • Four rear-mounted motors, pusher orientation
    • Aggressive propeller pitch selected for high-speed flight
    • Motor selection balanced against airframe form factor
  • Power System

    A high-voltage LiPo architecture chosen for compact, high-output power delivery.

    • High-voltage LiPo battery system
    • Compact form factor prioritized for internal packaging
  • Flight Electronics

    A high-current flight stack paired with integrated GPS for tracking and post-operation retrieval.

    • High-current flight stack for maximum performance
    • Integrated GPS for post-operation retrieval if visual tracking is lost
