Light-Tactical Aircraft
SkyRunner has been designed to meet the most demanding operational requirements of the Government & Defense Sectors. Designed to take off and land in 600 feet (day or night) from most of the existing surfaces (sand, gravel, grass, asphalt, concrete, dirt…) and highly stall resistant.
MISSIONS
SkyRunner can be used for a large number of very different mission profiles:
- Special Ops
- Medevac
- Search & Rescue
- Infiltration & Exfiltration
- Recon and Intelligence Gathering
- Border Patrol and Interdiction
- Emergency Services
- Natural Disasters
- Traffic Monitoring
- Law Enforcement
ADAPTABILITY
Thanks to its design modularity, SkyRunner can be modified to accommodate a variety of configurations: a stretcher for Medevac, a EO/IR sensor with laser, tools for breaking contact, and three seat options.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
Once airborne, SkyRunner has only two flight controls – left and right steering via handheld toggles and throttle pedal to climb or descend.
This intuitive flight system makes SkyRunner one of the easiest and safest forms of flight to master and offers the kind of flying experience that is unmatched by other forms of aviation.
ENGINEERING
The SkyRunner is constructed from Chromoly seamless air-hardening heat-treated steel tubing reinforced with carbon fiber composites to provide high levels of durability and performance. This lightweight, high-strength hybrid space frame protects the passengers over the toughest of terrains, through the roughest of take-offs and landings.
The body construction uses carbon fiber body panels and seamless air-hardened heat-treated steel tubing to achieve immense strength allied to lower weight penalties.
SkyRunner’s inverted double wishbone suspension is the perfect partner to its inherent chassis control, which helps to handle either rough roads or sharp corners with equal poise and supple precision.
