IMG_8054smallOur team at SkyBridge UAS designed a drone, the SB1, to meet a variety of industrial applications with a quality that exceeds our customers expectations. The SB1 has the capabilities of a military UAV, but without the cost. The SB1 comes as a turn key operation using military spec autopilot providing fully autonomous operation.

SkyBridge UAS’ design utilizes a modular concept with avionics and sensors in removable pods. The entire aircraft, including the pods, has been designed to be very efficient aerodynamically. It is also made with a tough, lightweight carbon fiber structure.

An off-the-shelf fuel injected engine is being used with an on-board generator providing up to 200W of electrical power for avionics and sensors. This allows for a wide range of applications to be handled.
