QuintosTwin Prop Tactical UCAV
Quintos is not a stealth ucav. It is a twin Rotax 914 Turbo, highly tactical UCAV with high performance characteristics that are ideal for ISR through high intensity attack roles. The aircraft has a lower RCS then most other props, due to the geometries involved, plus the engine nacelles are contained within the box tail, shielding the rotax's from any radar bands. Props are not stealth though, but nonetheless, lower rcs.
Quintos in ISR configuration maintains an endurance up to 36 hours, but in tactical missions, can carry up to 6 AGM-114's externally, or up to 1,500 LBS of ordnance both externally and internally within it's bay.
Operating efficiently, Quintos has a range beyond 3,000 NM, or maintain a range at low level flight of beyond 1,500 NM at maximum fuel/payload, ie MTOW.
By comparison, it's direct equivalent in market would be
the Bayktar TB-2, which has payload capacity of only 331 LBS maximum.
This also results in the ability for slow flight, of
about 70-75 mph (50 mph in ISR exclusive), while maintaining its high
performance characteristics for above 9+G maneuvering and attack roles, for
being a light strike aircraft, at up to 270 mph level flight, but it can
dive from high altitudes above 25,000ft and accelerate through 400-450 mph
without risk of over stressing the aircraft.
Average price with full defense configuration, targeting,
satellite comms, and flir/tracking systems, apx $2.5 million
