Corsica is a common project from ISAE - SUPAERO and ENAC. The challenge is to develop a mini-electric UAV able to fly over the Mediterranean sea from Nice to Corsica (distance : 180km).
Specifications
- Span: 1.5 m
- Wing area: 0.21 m2
- Weight: 2 kg
- Cruise speed: 15 m/s = 54km/h
- Batteries: 3 lipo-cells, 21Ah
- Range: 250km
Performances
Corsica should be capable to fly more than 250km at its designed conditions. Only the batteries have been tested and are not as good as expected.
