Sword 4.0 UAV
Product descripton: Sword 4.0 UAV by Cannon Dynamics
The Sword 4.0 is a high-performance fixed-wing UAV featuring an efficient twin-wing layout, designed to maximize lift while minimizing drag and wing loading. Its low magnetic signature makes it ideal for stealthy operations, magnetic surveying, and mapping. The UAV accommodates a 15 kg payload, enabling deployment of ISR sensors, mission-critical equipment, or automated cargo drops.
Engineered for long-endurance flights, Sword 4.0 supports a wide array of propulsion systems, including single and twin electric pushers, hybrid VTOL configurations, and a 70 cc EFI internal combustion engine. Redundancy features such as “get me home” modes ensure operational reliability in challenging conditions. The platform is also available with launcher, STOL, and STOVL adaptations for flexible mission deployment.
Sword 4.0 is designed for easy transport and rapid deployment, stored and carried in protective cases, making it suitable for tactical, commercial, and BVLOS operations.
