The drone „Falcon Eye“ has a wingspan of 1,80m and a length of 1,20m and was designed thoroughly as a enlightenment drone. The structural form of a high wing aeroplane ensures especially stable flight characteristics which is absolute necessary at enlightenment flights. On the front part of the aeroplane a rotatable High Definition camera system is installed whose pictures are transmitted live to the pilot at the ground station. The drone is powered with an electric high-performance brushless motor which brings it rapid and efficient to its optimal cruising altitude. The propulsion ensures high thrust and performance in all situations. For a persistent flight time, two powerful lithium polymer batteries are installed. In the situation of a breakdown of the drive battery during the mission, the second battery ensures a safe landing.
