HT-100 Swiss Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

The HT-100 Swiss Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is equipped with a 15 kW turbine engine that has been meticulously developed and manufactured in Switzerland. This engine is specifically tailored for aviation applications, exhibiting a fuel consumption rate of only 9 liters per hour. It is compatible with multiple fuel types, including Jet A1, JP-5, and JP-8. This configuration promotes low vibration levels, high operational reliability, and reduced maintenance requirements, facilitated by a circumferential lubrication system and a time between overhauls (TBO) of 1,000 flight hours. The aircraft employs a dual-rotor Flettner system, which negates the need for a tail rotor and reduces energy consumption by an estimated 30% while carrying heavy payloads. The absence of mechanical components in the tail boom, combined with a modular structure, significantly enhances the aircraft's transportability and storage capabilities, including deployment on naval platforms. Regarding operational capabilities, the HT-100 can accommodate a payload of up to 60 kg, with flight durations ranging from 1 to 6 hours, contingent upon the load. The aircraft attains a maximum airspeed of 120 km/h and is capable of operating at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters, while withstanding wind speeds of up to 45 km/h. Both take-off and landing procedures are fully autonomous. The communication system employs an encrypted MESH IP data link, with options for SATCOM and LTE integration to meet specific mission requirements. Safety is a paramount consideration in the architecture of the HT-100. The aircraft is equipped with a pre-programmed autorotation function supported by a backup electric motor, redundancy in flight control through four actuators, an ADS-B Mode S transponder, a FLARM system, and a full-frame parachute. Additionally, it features a detect-and-avoid capability, terrain-following technology, front and bottom FPV cameras, as well as an automated return-to-home (RTH) function in the event of a GNSS failure. In support of operational activities, Anavia provides fixed-price, all-inclusive maintenance plans, ensuring that spare parts are supplied in advance to optimize availability. All technical documentation is compliant with manned aircraft certification standards. Furthermore, customized training programs are available for flight operators and maintenance personnel, enhancing their operational proficiency and expertise.
