Penguin B Small UAV Airframe
Product descripton: Penguin B Small UAV Airframe by Edge Autonomy
Penguin B is a highly adaptable, long-endurance small UAV airframe designed as a configurable foundation for a wide range of mission profiles. Rather than a fixed, closed system, Penguin B is delivered as a semi-integrated platform intended for final assembly and customization based on specific operational requirements. This approach makes it especially suitable for military users, research institutions, and educational organizations that require flexibility in payload selection, propulsion, avionics, and mission systems.
The airframe is optimized for endurance and efficiency, featuring a spacious internal layout capable of accommodating up to 7.5 liters of fuel. When equipped with the fuel-injected engine option, Penguin B can achieve flight endurance exceeding 20 hours, supporting long-duration ISR, scientific data collection, training, and testing missions. Electric propulsion and VTOL configurations are also available, enabling operations in environments where conventional launch and recovery are limited.
Built from composite materials, Penguin B balances strength, durability, and aerodynamic efficiency. The platform supports a universal payload mount, allowing rapid integration of sensors and mission equipment, and offers multiple configuration options such as a four-servo V-tail, heavy-duty landing gear, pneumatic catapult launch, and optional heated pitot systems. Push-pull wing connectors simplify assembly and transport, reducing setup time in the field.
To support system integrators and operators, Penguin B can be supplied with an optional integration course, providing hands-on guidance for customizing the aircraft to mission needs. With its Non-ITAR status, modular architecture, and proven endurance performance, Penguin B serves as a flexible, mission-ready UAV platform that can evolve alongside operational requirements rather than being constrained by a single predefined configuration.
