LAUNCHER ANDACCESSORIESThe next generation of small <strong>UAV</strong> launch systemsis now available!<strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>Drone</strong>’s pneumatic launcher is state of theart, and offers safe, reliable launching of aircraftweighing up to 100 pounds.Precision rodless cylinders, designed for heavy-duty,day-in, day-out use in industrial applications, are themost recent development in pneumatic launchertechnology. Rodless cylinder technology makes the<strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>Drone</strong> launcher totally self-contained: only theaircraft leaves the launcher! Dangerous and expensivelaunch pistons and interface hardware are notrequired on the <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>Drone</strong> launcher, and consequently,the <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>Drone</strong> launch mechanism isparticularly well suited for shipboard applications.An added feature of the rodless cylinder is its abilityto operate using high volume, low pressure gas.Bottled nitrogen or compressed air is typically used tocharge the launcher to approximately 100 psi., but ifdesired, the launcher may also be charged with asmall, light duty compressor. Maximum launch velocityof a 95 pound <strong>Dragon</strong> <strong>Drone</strong> is approximately 60 milesper hour.Built onto a rigid welded steel trailer, the launcherprovides a sturdy platform for carrying other neededequipment; the on-board storage boxes hold alllauncher support equipment, as well as the aircraft'sstarter and fuel transfer pump. A built-in aircraft C.G.suspension apparatus makes weight and balancechecks quick and easy.FLIGHT OPERATIONSAND TRAININGBAI Aerosystems maintains a qualified staff of <strong>UAV</strong>Flight Operations Personnel and expert TrainingInstructors.
