Conceived as technology demonstrator for a Medium Altitude, Long Endurance (MALE) surveillance UAV, the Sky-Y flew in June 2007.
Its purpose is to develop enabling technologies that increase the aircraft's autonomous flight and data collection and distribution capabilities.
Sky-Y has an all-composite structure, all-electric systems and a 160 HP diesel engine of automotive derivation giving it up to 12 hours' endurance.
