Eye In The Sky: 40 Pounds of Amazing Aircraft

[@CRAFT7445]

Drop the music. I could barely hear the interviewees.

[@lq1044]

I have the same Futaba T9C radio back in 2010. I bet those UAVs have Desert Aircraft engines just like most of my large scale model airplanes. Desert Aircraft sell engines with Walbro carburators for hobbyists. They have the same engines fitted with fuel injection system (for higher altitude) that they only sell to the military.

[@v.gedace1519]

Yeah, seems we are doing something wrong ... we should build "the new military generation UAV´s". New feature would be 4K video ... We sell each UAV for only $ 560,385! Really cheap for military stuff!

[@bobobobo3142]

I have one of these, where I can find that catapult?

[@bentfpv]

Futaba T9C transmitter on the desk there! :-)

[@JustinWolfs0n]

Whats the bind procedure for one of these bad bois?

[@linecraftman3907]

lmao

[@kogibankole]

he looks like an rc guy lol

[@v.gedace1519]

He is such a guy!

[@shockme156]

Indeed

[@Maksim-Galkin]

Amazing !

[@johncitizen5377]

It's got it's work cut out with consumer grade Drones (Mavic 3.). I think where this thing has the edge is that it can stay airborne for the entire battle monitoring that battle and providing encrypted communications relay with battle controllers. It doesn't really matter if it gets shot down because apart from the software, the hardware would not be protected technology.

[@terradrive]

watching this as my country recently got few of these from usa to check on what china's doing on spratly islands

[@Wingman4l7]

You don't need a UAV to tell you that it's nothing good.

[@terradrive]

Wingman4l7 you need an UAV to stay up to date, or do you like to go blind wothout getting any information?

[@crashercrasher9696]

Philippines have 5 brand new units of these all donated by u.s.a

[@woot_tech]

Amazing bird indeed

[@districtfpv6394]

That cool to make hobby rc and the flightime so long

[@w4r7h0g8]

the US should go for a system that unites all fuel-using drones, with a refuel system, so you can stay in air forever

[@yogeshforever]

Any plans for this Plane to make it into RC Plane????

[@jessejames5825]

LOL It already is.

[@capenterjojo3373]

For minutes I thought this video is from 1900s because of that guys shirt

[@zuenpin]

very good ^Q^

[@jacobdavidcunningham1440]

2:11 man is that really a ribbon cable lol accidentally cut it

[@skullcraftcustoms]

Variant of the original scaneagle. Years ago when myself and very few guys in the US were in garages building the worlds first real "Drones" the scaneagle guys were in Moro Oregon area testing the original scaneagle in their garage. Eventually they sold like 2000 units to the military puting them on the map despite the first test of the system to be for scanning Tuna at sea. after successful military uses the group got bought out by Insitu / boeing for like 300 Million. A tried and true UAS for sure. It is very over priced though. I say this because for a bit I was a consultant to VT Group etc and I've been all up in the system and in this day and age a guy can build a pretty capable DIY version for near nothing...

[@razormaku8045]

If its shot down nobody dies. But the enemy takes the technology.

[@Austin-cx2xe]

What technology? The reason the US and others had these isn't because they were more advanced but because their industrial complex was able to support the production of high tech imaging sensors, microchips etc which most US enemies have difficulty due to sanctions

[@kasunchamara7497]

Propulsion System....??? Turbine Engine Or Small Piston Engine ??

[@Doan84]

it has a piston engine with one cylinder.

[@raynfir638]

These carry payloads and we just gave the taliban around 80 of them.

[@Александр-у8й6д]

The payloads are mainly camera equipment, no explosives. But yeah the taliban probably shouldn't have them.

[@raynfir638]

@@Александр-у8й6д eagle scans can carry a 35lb payload, low yield explosive. Essentially it is is suicide drone.

[@kareem5655]

What i should do in college to be able to make this

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Everything but the price tag.

[@k1ortia]

But does it run I-NAV.. lol

[@adarsfpv]

haha\ probably misson planner

[@PPYTAO]

Windows XP, niiiiiiice 👌

[@jerrynormandin2892]

It should be easy to replicate this airfoil and fuselage to build a scaled down model that runs iNAV :) it will be 850g of amazing aircraft LOL

[@jerrynormandin2892]

I found the airfoil. The rest shouldn't be too bad. Could make it light with foam, or maybe 3d print it. My luck with 3d printed planes is if I get 4 flights out of them before they break I am lucky. I think foam, carbon fiber and nylon

[@emadmostafa2741]

@@jerrynormandin2892 can you share the airfoil?

[@theohess3242]

I want such a drone - to hunt chemtrail sprayer

[@willasproth]

No amount of drones will ever find a “chemtrail sprayer”

[@Yeeyeeazzhaircut]

Was that even proper english? Hunt chemtrail? What the hell are you talking about?

[@replynotificationsdisabled]

God Damn mosquitos are back again sarge

[@ms-vp6jp]

Iran took an Scan Eagle from the US trophy

[@نجلاءالودعاني-ت8ك]

Ok Good night

[@johncgibson4720]

The limit is 250 grams, please.

[@johnnytech0309]

Uav licence brings that up to 55 pounds

[@sayedmuhammadidrees1453]

the landing is quite expensive.

[@jessejames5825]

HUH? Why is it expensive?

[@sayedmuhammadidrees1453]

​@@jessejames5825 if in landing the wings at hit by the rod this can cause collateral damage to the UAV so you have to buy another one for billion dollars then.

[@bobcoughlan929]

How many nerf balls does it fire per minute?

[@juremyclorkson3518]

We've got an american Selcuk Bayraktar over here. It's funny that his demo is in Arab Peninsula. How crazy is that, imagine if Russians showcase their new weapons and they show a map of Washington. Like why are you outside of your country with all these weapons? You are not defending yourself from the other side of the globe. What are you doing?

[@v.gedace1519]

LOL "the plane has special gimbal ... high resolution camera..." (in 2015 HD were meant) in 2020 you can buy this for 500 bugs from a china company called ... eh ... u know who is meant ...

[@mollyfilms]

Why such crap music?

[@SonVu-wr4cj]

Usa 1

[@laStar972chuck]

Ngl. Music is way tooloud. Can barely make out wtf they saying

[@tonnyHypper]

Vant

[@bkiism]

shitty gimbal guys

[@georgebush2798]

That's called chicken shoot warfare. Be a man, fight like one.

[@OllyFPV]

In fairness thats not the point of this, its for reckon to give vital intel to ground teams which will save lives. It would pretty moronic to just waltz up to the enemy without important information which can be obtained for basically free with this drone.
