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).

Trip

We will take off around Nice and land at Calvi. The distance to fly is about 180km.

Trip


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 tested at 18Ah
  • 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. According to our last calculations, the first prototype should be able to fly around 220km.

News

The manufacturing is in process and the first plane should be ready by the end of January. The first flight is scheduled March 5.

Planning

First manufactured plane in early February

First flight in early March

Second manufactured plane in late March

Third manufactured plane in late April

Trip to Corsica in early June


Communication

We will use an onboard GSM transceiver who will send to a ground station the position, battery voltage, speed ... each minute. We hope the GSM network will work in the middle of the sea
