The SHADOW series of airframes caters to the medium-sized large experimental RC
aircraft user. Larger than the VISION series aircraft, the SHADOW
airframes boast modularity, ruggedness and accessibility that is
second to none in field operations. With payload capabilities in
the 40 kg range, and a nominal price tag compared to competing
systems worldwide, the competitive edge they offer is obvious.
The SHADOW airframes use optional Kevlar molded fuselage
pans, Kevlar/Graphite reinforced equipment bays and side stress
panels and high-tensile steel/aramid-reinforced landing gears.
The SHADOW series of airframes were specially developed
to cover a customer requirement for a family of modular
composite airframes that could provide endurance ranges in the
4-6 hour bracket. Based on a classical twin-boom pusher layout,
the aircraft can be equipped with a variety of stock or modified
power plants, including tuned-exhaust and belt-driven
modifications, based on user applications. The basic engine
recommended is a 3W-240.
The SHADOW family
consists of pusher configuration airframes with the largest
aircraft in the series having a 7m (23ft) wingspan.
