Our conventional fixed wing design is called the Slipstream AVLifter series, and it is designed for long range or high altitude missions. With a wingspan of up to 8 feet, this aircraft is best used to lift heavier payloads for a prepared mission using adequate takeoff and landing areas. The generous cargo area of the Slipstream can accommodate up to 300 cubic inches of equipment, including the flight equipment and batteries. The high aspect ratio of this plane's design gives it excellent glide characteristics, and makes the best use of every watt of energy available to the quiet yet powerful electric motor. This series is also available with an internal combustion engine option. The Slipstream series of aircraft utilizes infrared yaw and pitch control providing the pilot with a "self stabilizing" feature, thus giving the pilot peace of mind in flight operations.

Conventional Design
 

The steerable nose gear gives excellent ground handling response and control.  Standard flight control configuration provides throttle, ailerons (for left and right turning), and elevator (for up and down).  Rudder (tail steering) can be added if required.

The modular design of this aircraft allows the user to break down the unit into a components transport box which measures 48"x12"x12".

The Slipstream II utilizes the same modular design as it's 'big brother' the Slipstream AVLifter, but it boasts a smaller footprint.

The Slipstream II is a purpose built aircraft, designed expressly for aerial video and still photography uses. Equipped with an infrared pitch and yaw control, it is a very stable, simple to fly, and efficient platform. It is designed to accommodate most digital cameras, and can be equipped with streaming video. The Slipstream II can also be configured with a custom carrying case made of high impact ABS plastic or aluminum. Please contact us for further information.
