AAI unveils Shadow Knight UAV for MRMUAS

Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2012

AAI Corporation is proposing a new vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) design for the US Navy’s medium-range maritime unmanned aerial system (MRMUAS) requirement.

The Shadow Knight is based on the slowed-rotor/compound (SR/C) concept licensed from Carter Aviation Technologies, but with changes to enable a true hover capability for operation from ships.

AAI has been investigating Carter’s technology because it provides a VTOL capability similar to a helicopter without the complexity of a fully powered rotor, promising reduced acquisition and maintenance costs.
