EFFICIENT The V-Bat achieves high efficiency
by merging sailplane-like wings and a slender
fuselage with a mechanically simple ducted fan
vertical lift system that simultaneously serves as
the aircraft’s tail surfaces. The V-Bat has the
performance of proven fixed-wing designs, with
the flexibility of vertical take-off and landing
capability.
Robust Other tail-sitter designs are prone to
Martin UAV tipover and damage, but the V-Bat was designed
15455 North Dallas Parkway specifically to survive a tip-over landing. A
Suite 1080 shock absorbing nose-skid system absorbs the
Addison, TX 75001 loads from a tip-over and the duct shields the
rotor and vanes from any damage when

CONVENIENT The V-Bat is suited for use in
virtually any environment where only a small
launch and recovery space are available, such as
shipboard operations, urban canyons, or remote
areas with thick vegetation. The V-Bat requires
just 6m x6m (20ft x 20ft) of space for vertical
take-off launch and recovery. The combination
of vertical take-off and landing and the safety of
a shrouded fan coupled with the benefits of
fixed-wing efficiency all in a small UAV system,
will enable you to achieve unprecedented
situational awareness capabilities from operations
in confined areas.
