Novi Reaper

Citat:The test vehicle was retrofitted with a 4m (13ft) longer wing than the MQ-9 version, at 24m, with an increased internal fuel capacity and additional hardpoints. The wings also have provisions for de-icing and integrated low- and high-band radio-frequency antennas.

The new version of the medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV will be able to fly for 40h, up from the 27h endurance of the previous system.

The US Air Force has fielded an interim retrofitted Block 5 model with an extended range capability that includes auxiliary external fuel tanks and new wings, but General Atomics is looking towards a production variant featuring the longer wings and increased internal fuel capability as a standard that could be certified to fly in national airspace.

Citat:He explains that MQ-9s are capable of operating from 3,000ft (0.9km) runways. However, because it is landed manually from a control station, the air force requires an extra 1,000ft safety margin at each end of the landing zone for a total runway length of 5,000ft.

“With automatic takeoff and landing, we can put it down on the same spot consistently,” he says. “That’s going to give you a 3,000ft runway capability.”
