The new platform is based on our seasoned and operationally proven Penguin B aircraft that has been purchased in more than 47 countries and holds an endurance record of 54.5 hours of nonstop flight. The Penguin B VTOL aircraft has completed an extensive flight validation program with over 500 successful takeoffs and landings in diverse environmental conditions.

UAV Factory is pleased to announce the release of our upgraded Unmanned Aircraft System Portable Pneumatic Catapult system. As before, the catapults are available in different sizes of 4 or 6 meters, but compared to the previous versions have significantly increased available launch energies – up to 11 kJ for the 4m and 16 kJ for the 6m version.

UAV Factory will be exhibiting at the IDEX 2021 – International Defence Exhibition in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, the only international defence exhibition and conference in the MENA region demonstrating the latest technology across land, sea and air sectors of defence.
