The VectorP UAV is a world class professional composite unmanned aircraft with exceptional payload and endurance capabilities. Designed for easy transport to and from the flight area, the VectorP assembles in approximately 15 minutes using ordinary tools. The durable composite construction is designed for years of handling and flight time. Flight quality is exceptional but does require an experienced UAV/RC pilot for consistent performance.The VectorP UAV design has been flying since 2003 and remains in service throughout the world today. It has been used for a variety of missions including forest fire monitoring in California with NASA/USFS, the US Air Force and NATO operations, scientific aerodynamic research, multi-spectral imaging for the USDA, and more. It has passed and flown under FAA COAs as well as military range safety reviews. A documented history of the aircraft is available through Maryland Aerospace,Inc. Unlike most inexpensive asian built model airplanes, the VectorP is made in the USA by a leading composites builder. Most important of all, it comes with a proven commercial flight history.
