A Long Endurance Fixed Wing Vertical Takeoff and Landing Drone for Shipboard Operations

OneNOAA Science Seminar Series

Sponsors: Join the NOAA Central Library and the Technology Partnerships Office (TPO) for the new NOAA Innovators Series! This series will be facilitated by Tiffany House, SBIR Commercialization Specialist.

Speaker: Dr. Ben Cameron, Creare LLC

Abstract: Creare is developing a fixed wing Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) drone for shipboard operations to eliminate the complex launch and recovery procedures typical of non-VTOL drones. Creare’s drone utilizes a biplane configuration to achieve lower flight speeds and higher endurance than existing monoplane with the same wingspan. The drone employs a novel control method that eliminates the added cost, weight and complexity of traditional control surfaces (e.g., elevators and ailerons) and also reduces weight by using a single propulsion system for vertical and horizontal flight.

About the Speaker: Ben Cameron is the Principal Investigator of this NOAA SBIR Phase II effort. At Creare, Dr. Cameron leads the Unmanned Aircraft Systems research group and oversees development of complete drone systems and airborne sensor packages for specialized scientific missions.
