G18I "Aeolus" (Industrial Version)

 As mentioned previously, the G18 was designed for the film industry in mind.  Now we have produced a machine capable of entering the UAV market place, this new robust machine has been re-designed to cater for multiple payloads, the system is has inter-changeable front ends, this can be done very easily as the flying mechanics are totally independent to the payload bay, as you can see in the pictures above.

We have managed to enhance the flying characteristics and increase the flight time from 1-2 hours to 2-3 hours depending on payloads. 

The Aeolus is a prime candidate for a super stable surveillance platform, combined with the Mini Gyro Dome the system can reach speeds of 70 Knots and fly for a total of 3 hours.  These features are well suited to Powerline inspection and even fire spotting here in Australia, you could even mount a Radio communication repeater system and have it hovering for 2 hours where you would not wish for a full size counterpart to go.
