I am confident that SP Guide Publications would continue to inform, inspire and influence.
My compliments to SP Guide Publications for informative and credible reportage on contemporary aerospace issues over the past six decades.
In the framework of the European Robotics Week, Indra has made a flight demo of two of its unmanned aircraft: the Pelican helicopter and the Mantis plane, at Villamartin aerodrome (Cadiz).
The company demonstrated the capacities of Pelican, a system conceived for maritime surveillance, which will be ready to enter service by early 2012.
Pelican is the first rotary-wing UAV prepared to embark on a military vessel. The system is in the last development phase and during the test period Indra managed to configure it in such a way that the engine can use heavy fuel oil nonflammable – as it is an elementary requirement to go onboard a military vessel.
Regarding Mantis, Indra exhibited the capacities of the smallest model (2,10-metre-wing) of the family of UAVs developed by the company. The system, ready to enter service soon can be easily transported and operated by one or two people. A system of this type facilitates observation of movement in an operation range of around 30 kilometres.
