First flight of the 10-meter prototype of the UAVOS HAPS ApusDuo aircraft

UAVOS has successfully completed the first stage of the flight tests of the 10-meter prototype of the UAVOS HAPS ApusDuo aircraft, which was manufactured as part of the development program of HAPS ApusDuo with a wing span of 28m. That prototype was made for testing control algorithms, including take-off and landing, full-scale verification of HAPS aerodynamics. Test flights fully confirmed the flight characteristics of the UAV.

the aspect ratio must be phenomenal .
look like it went 1/4 Mile and lost six feet in altitude. absolutely awesome :-)

Simple, elegant, and clearly functional design. I would wonder how it does in severe wind conditions, but in any case, it clearly works. Kudos to the designers!
