Czech commercial unmanned aircraft Primoco UAV, which was officially launched last year, made its first take-off under the serial number 001 and immatriculation OK-X013S on 26th March, 2016.
The aircraft of the Czech company Primoco UAV SE is able to fly autonomously, only with the help of programmed flight plans. Its key features are its size, endurance, range of flight and the option to mount additional technologies according to the use.
It is the payload up to 50 kg (HD-cameras, infrared cameras, sensors or other electronics or equipment) and its take-off weight of 100 kg that make the aircraft a valuable partner for tasks in areas such as industry, agriculture, telecommunication, but also security as well as energetics. Its flight range has recently been increased to more than 200 km and endurance of 10 hours – qualities that enable even more demanding air missions. Moreover, the aircraft Primoco UAV can take off and land within very short distances which ranks it to the category STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing).
“We are very happy for the first serial production aircraft in the Czech skies. We are planning to produce here, in the Czech Republic, a 100 pieces per year. Even now we are making aircraft for the customers from all around the world. Current delivery time is 5 months,” says Ladislav Semetkovský, the Chief Executive and founder of the company Primoco UAV SE.
In November 2015, the company was selected as one of the 100 best Czech companies, in the area of development and innovation.
