UNMANNED AIRFRAMES

PENGUIN B
PENGUIN'S PHILOSOPHY
Designed as a high performance unmanned airframe, Penguin B is one
of the most capable airframes available today. With a small footprint
of 3.3 meter wingspan, Penguin B can handle up to 11.5 kg of
combined fuel and payload weight. Modular composite structure, fast
assembly, large access hatches, removable payload bay, are the key
features of the Penguin B innovative design. Available as an airframe
ready for the autopilot and payload integration.

PERFORMANCE
Sleek and efficient design gives the best in class performance. Optimized for endurance, Penguin has enough internal volume to lift 7.5 liters of fuel
which will provide 20+ hours endurance using efficient Honda 4 stroke engine. The optimized high lift flap system provides stall speeds of <13 m/s
while giving excellent flight handling qualities due to a well designed V-tail geometry.

PAYLOAD COMPARTMENT
Penguin B has a swappable payload module that can be removed in seconds
and used for various payloads. Payload module is inserted from the underneath
of fuselage and includes a large section of the lower fuselage surface to facilitate
the installation of camera gimbals, antennas and heat radiators.

PAYLOAD SPECIFICATIONS
Removable Payload Module Volume 9.5 liters
Total Fuselage Volume 30 liters
Maximum Payload Weight 10 kg

MODULAR DESIGN
All components of Penguin B are easily
removable and completely interchangeable.
Wing splits in three 1.1 meter sections and
the V-tail splits in two parts. High-end industrial
grade push-pull connectors are installed in tail-
boom joints as standard. The quick release
fastening is used extensively in Penguin B
airframe. Oversize access covers are equipped
with DZUS type 1/4 turn quick fasteners, tail-
booms are equipped with a purpose developed
6061 T6 aluminum joints.

Maximum endurance of the system is 6+ hours.

Does not include: autopilot, antennas, payload,
batteries, onboard generator

4-servo V tail upgrade Each tail plane control surface is split in two equal
sides, each having own servo (total of 4 servos for
tail plane). Option includes additional servos, CNC
machined aluminum servo mounts, modified
control surfaces, additional linkages and wiring.

This option increases reliability of the system in

case of a tail plane servo failure

7.5 liter fuel tank A custom made composite fuel tank is factory
installed into the Penguin. Fuel tank maximizes
amount of fuel that can be carried in Penguin B.
With standard 28 cc two stroke engine endurance is
increased to 10+

Combined Pitot-Static The combined Static-Pitot tube is designed to

assembly provide both dynamic and static pressure
measurements in a single package. Pitot-Static
tube is made of strong and light carbon fiber tubes
and aircraft grade aluminum for maximum rigidity.
System can be mounted and removed using two
screws for simple UAV transportation. Comes in
correct length an validated mounting location.

Push-pull connectors Preinstalled Fischer 102 Series push-pull industrial
for wing connectors between the centre and the tip wing
sections. Three electrical contacts as standard,
other contact configurations are available upon
request.

Transportation Case Military grade transportation case with folding

substructure for assembly.
Transportation case size 1235 x 625 x 460 mm.
Available from March 2011. Contact for details.

80 W Generator Onboard generator system that is factory installed

system upgrade on 28 cc, 2-stroke gas engine.
High efficiency and reliability. System includes
Generator Power Module with 6V and 12V outputs,
short circuit protection, integrated Li-Polymer
charger, integrated current sensors and RS-232
connection for monitoring consumed current,
power, battery status and rpm's. Lithium Polymer
battery is not included.
Please refer to separate datasheet for more details.
Available from February 2011. Contact for details.
Car-top launch system Car-top launch system is mounted on a car using
standard THULE rack mounts. Smart lever
arrangement mechanically unhooks the UAV when
the desired angle of attack is obtained. Angle of
attack is controlled by the autopilot input and the
takeoff procedure is the same as for autonomous
runway takeoff. The takeoff procedure is as follows:
car accelerates->desired speed is reached->
autopilot commands rotation using elevators->
airframe undergoes rotation and UAV is
mechanically disengaged and free to climb.
Available from March 2011. Contact for details.
Penguin B LE Penguin B with long endurance package designed
for 20+ hours endurance. Car-top launcher is used
for the takeoff, belly landing or landing gear used
for recovery.
