Skywalker Kit We offer a complete solution for a user that need to put a payload in a advanced position at low cost completely designed by the Spanish company Airelectronics. Using a standard computer, the user can plan, fly and modify the UAV mission in real time in the easiest possible way thanks to the U-Pilot flight control system and the U-See ground station software. The operator doesn't need any previous flight experience and it is not even necessary to have a manual joystick because the system can fly 100% in automatic mode: from the take-off to the landing. In case of a communications problem the plane will came back home and land safely. The plane is based in COTS materials (Commercial off-the-shelf) and has been adapted to became a complete UAV. Due to the fact than the plane has been built using composites and EPO its weight is really low (1.3 kg without the payload) it is really easy to hand launch it and to land it: any operator can do it, even without any previous skill, and it will land on its fuselage without big damage in almost any terrain. Payload weight can be up to 1.2 kg giving to the system a really good payload weight / total weight relationship. The use of EPO, a material that comes from the elapor, reduces weight and makes the integration of the payload an easy task. It is an incredible easy to work material. It also has "shape memory": in case of a crash the material will deform itself and will came back to its original shape. After long optimization tests done on the field by Airelectronics the best engine-propeller relationship has been selected and special engine control law has been designed archiving the best possible endurance. The brain for the plane is the Airelectronics' U-Pilot flight control system, which is embedded inside the plane's fuselage, leaving a lot of space on board to install a payload. Being based in FPGA technology, U-Pilot's configurability and flexibility is unsurpassed and the advanced sensor mixture using extended Kalman filtering assures an optimal attitude and navigation control. It can be adapted to control any payload you want, and has camera control capabilities already built-in, including geo-reference of a camera image.

Skywalker Kit U-Pilot can fly the aircraft using waypoint navigation, even when the GPS signal has been lost by using dead-reckoning navigation. Can also orbit around a ground location and can fly directly towards a map clicked location. Its control laws has been optimized for the control of the electric motor the UAV Skywalker uses, having automatic modes that take advantage of the energy present in the atmosphere: The plane has capability to climb taking advantage of the convective activity (thermal soaring). This way it gains flight time and extends its range. This gives almost unlimited loiter...
