Operational Capabilities
The GT-380 RPAS is designed to fulfill multi-role applications in the short field takeoff and landing environment. The aircraft incorporates multiple high-lift devices and "all-composite" construction to enable flight operations in confined rural and urban areas.
With the high-lift devices stowed, the specially-designed laminar-flow airfoil allows the GT-380 to cruise in excess of 100 mph, reducing the "base to on-scene" flight time and extending its range. The fixed landing gear includes a rugged shock suspension system and steerable nosewheel, providing a robust capability in rough-field operations. Brakes are optional on the main wheels.
The powerplant is an air-cooled, single or dual cylinder engine. The optional dual cylinder engine can incorporates an electric starter for inflight start and a generator system capable of 300 watts of inflight power. An internal 1 gallon fuel supply and wing station fuel can provide endurance exceeding 3 hours and 100 miles. On-site assembly, launch, and operation are accomplished with only 2 personnel in 30 minutes or less.
NOTE: The GT-380 RPAS completed initial flight testing in July 2015 and final flight testing in April 2016 to validate performance specifications.
