The BÚHOs are “Class I Electric Propulsion Unmanned Aerial Vehicle” type systems, intended for low-cost flight training, which allows the execution of operations with the necessary protocols to train SAMIRP operators in the tasks of takeoff, landing, short navigation, use of airborne sensors, failure mitigation and initial adaptation to operation in larger systems such as Class II; additionally, they allow tactical use adjusted to their performances.

They can also operate in principle with an autonomy of 40 minutes and a range of 10 km, from unprepared runways.

On September 27, 2021, the General Directorate of Research and Development (DGIyD) together with personnel from the Applied Research Center (CIA), began the process of delivering to the Chamical Military Air Base (BAM) dependent on the Training and Readiness Command, the Remotely Piloted Military Air Systems (SAMIRP) model AR-1F BÚHO together with their ground control systems, flight support and transfer containers.

Authentically Mexican, the P-400T V3

Oaxaca Aerospace presents its third “Authentically Mexican” prototype, the P-400T V3, at FAMEX 2019.

The P-400T V3 is a canard-type aircraft with a ducted propeller and a carbon fiber fuselage and aluminum aerodynamic surfaces.

Features:

Cruising speed: 450 km/hr
Maximum speed: 550 km/hr
Crash speed: 113 km/hr
Maximum takeoff weight: 1780 kg
Payload: 600 kg
Engine: 400 hp turbocharged
Fuel: Jet A
Range 2,250 km
Autonomy: 5 hrs

Oaxaca Aerospace has invested in state-of-the-art infrastructure: Software: ANSYS Fluent, Catia. Machinery: 3D printers, CNC machining center.

Invested in staff training, we have a doctorate from the National School of Aeronautics and Space in Toulouse, France.

We have alliances with the most relevant academic and technological institutions both in Mexico and in the world:

Mexico: Universidad Aeronáutica in Querétaro (UNAQ) and Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN)
International: National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) in Wichita, Kansas, USA; Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).

Oaxaca Aerospace has developed the systems of its aircraft, such as the development of the landing gear, which is designed to withstand forced landings (since one of its applications is training), the nose gear is self-aligning and includes a technology developed by the company to avoid vibrations in the tire and not having to use a “shimmy damper” to avoid these vibrations.

The first prototype is currently in the flight testing stage.

Oaxaca Aerospace has followed all the guidelines set by the regulations for the manufacturing and testing of its aircraft.

Oaxaca Aerospace's commitment to aerospace technological development in our country.

Moya Aero unveils hybrid eVTOL cargo aircraft
The aircraft is an upgrade that will extend its operating range to 300 kilometers, improving efficiency in transporting payloads of up to 200 kilograms

Moya Aero, a Brazilian manufacturer of eVTOL aircraft, has introduced the hybrid version of the Moya eVTOL, an advancement designed to extend the operating range to 300 kilometers and improve efficiency while maintaining a payload capacity of 200 kilograms.

“In our pursuit of innovation and excellence, we identified the need for a solution that addresses the limitations of traditional electric drones, especially in terms of range and operational efficiency. Our hybrid cargo drone combines electric and conventional propulsion technologies, offering superior performance and reliability,” said Alexandre Zaramela, CEO of Moya.

Key benefits of the hybrid version of the Moya eVTOL:

Extended range: The cargo drone’s hybrid design allows it to cover greater distances, making it ideal for long-distance deliveries and remote locations. This range means reaching more customers and expanding service areas.

Improved efficiency: The aircraft optimizes fuel consumption and energy use by integrating a hybrid propulsion system. This results in lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint, aligning with the company’s sustainability goals.
Uncompromised payload capacity: Despite the increased range, the hybrid cargo drone maintains its robust payload capacity of 200 kg. This capacity ensures the same volume of goods can be transported without sacrificing efficiency or reliability.
Reliability and versatility: The hybrid system offers greater reliability and the flexibility to switch between power sources as needed. This versatility is essential to overcome various logistical challenges and ensure on-time deliveries.
Moya Aero said that the addition of this new eVTOL to the fleet will enhance our operational capabilities and have a positive impact on the environment.

Nauru 1000C drone participates in first official mission in the Brazilian Army
Xmobots system is used in the largest military training of 2024, Operation Perseus

View attachment 762743

The Nauru 1000C, a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) from the Brazilian company Xmobots, made its debut on an official mission during the Brazilian Army's Operation Perseus. This is the final phase of training for 7,800 military personnel in activities involving drone operation for defense of the homeland.

The operation took place last December, in the Southwest Military Command, in the Paraíba Valley region, and involved the participation of five Brazilian Army Area Commands.

“The brave warrior Nauru 1000C demonstrated its greatness on its first mission in conditions as close as possible to the reality of combat, with a theater of operations that involves the use of troops on the ground, applying current military doctrine in a tactical framework of combat across the broad spectrum,”

highlighted the founder and CEO of Xmobots, Giovani Amianti.

Drone for border monitoring
The result of a partnership between Xmobots and the Brazilian Army, the Nauru 1000C is a SARP designed for high tactical and strategic missions, which meets the demands of the Defense and Security sector.

With a maximum weight of 181 kg and a wingspan of almost eight meters, the drone has a 10-hour autonomy for day and night flights and a communication range of up to 60 km. In addition, the Nauru 1000C has VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) technology, which allows it to carry out missions in critical or difficult-to-access areas.

For Army General Tomás Miguel Miné Ribeiro Paiva, the Nauru 1000C raises the technological level of the EB.

“It is taking the Brazilian Army to another level in terms of technology, intelligence and target acquisition. This technology will help us a lot in operations along the border, operations in urban environments and even in conventional operations”,

he told the agency's website.

A complete system for multi-missions
The Nauru 1000C integrates a robust system that includes three aircraft, an exclusive gimbal for intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance missions, in addition to a mobile base for the control station.

The control base is equipped with biometric access, air conditioning, emergency lights, and ergonomic seats. This way, the safety and comfort of the operators are assured in any scenario.

Operation Perseus: the biggest military training of the year
Operation Perseus is a military training that simulates scenarios close to the reality of an operational combat.

Begun at the Army Aviation Command (CAvEx), in Taubaté-SP, Operation Perseus also passes through cities such as: Cruzeiro-SP, Lorena-SP, Areias-SP, Silveiras-SP and Resende-RJ. The objective is to conclude the year of military training with simulations of scenarios close to the reality of an operational combat.

“Operation Perseus is the most important operation of the Land Force this year and the largest operation we are carrying out in South America, with the use of many resources and activities, where we will certify several capabilities”, explained the Army Commander, Army General Tomás Miguel Miné Ribeiro Paiva.
