6. February, 2021
Ajdovščina – Pipistrel, a Slovenian ultra light plane developer, has paired up with another hi-tech Slovenian company, C-Astral Aerospace, as its main industrial and development partner to work on expanding its NUUVA v20 unmanned cargo plane beyond cargo transport.
The NUUVA V20 was originally designed to transport cargo, such as spare parts, high-value items or medicinal devices.
It will be now upgraded with a range of equipment, advanced electro-optic and electronic sensors, and data connections to make it fit for remote sensing, reconnaissance and observation.
Pipistrel said the partnership of two Ajdovščina-based companies, which are among the world leaders in aviation industry and unmanned systems, brings innovative solutions not only for unmanned cargo planes but also for the advanced electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) platform.
