Aeroscout Scout B1-100
Aeroscout provides autonomously flying, industrial unmanned helicopters for aerial imagery and photogrammetry, aerial video recording, surveillance and inspection, 3D laser mapping, search & rescue, aerial scientific measurements (online/offline).
The Aeroscout Scout B1-100 UAV helicopter is our latest development of a completely autonomous, unmanned helicopter. This helicopter is equipped with an air-cooled 100ccm gasoline engine and provides a payload capacity of up to 30kg. The standard configuration includes the flight control system, redundant power electronics and batteries, an onboard electric starter, and a 10l fuel tank. This configuration allows integrating additional 18kg of a customized payload unit. The flight endurance can achieve 1.5 hours. All data given is based on flight testing and system demonstrations at approx. 500m above mean sea level (AMSL).
GENERAL The autonomous industrial unmanned helicopter Scout B1-100 has been developed for professional airborne applications such as aerial mapping, airborne broadcasting, search & rescue, surveillance and inspection as well as law enforcement.
PAYLOAD The helicopter provides a payload capacity of up to 30 kg (incl. 10 l of fuel (standard), 4 kg flight control system FCS) with an empty weight about 45 kg (MTOW 75kg, depending on flight altitude above mean sea level).
SAFETY The helicopter has been developed under severe safety policies, high engine power reserve capacities, mechanic robustness (multiple load excess), and environmental robustness against spray water.
FEATURES The Scout B1-100 provides easy transportability and maintainability through system modularity, flexible payload options, and a smooth and easy-to-start 100ccm gasoline engine.
OPERATION The helicopter can either be flown in conventional manual mode with high maneuverability or can be operated with its integrated INS/GPS automated flight control system. This flight control system allows joystick (velocity) mode as well as GPS waypoint (position) mode.
