Payload, range and speed
FSC-15M capabilities
One aircraft, a modular load-out: a versatile air vehicle for the armed forces.
- Useful volume
- Standardised case format. One loading bay for the whole load-out.
- Possible payloads
- Medical supplies, logistics containers, electro-optics, emergency drop loads, specific equipment.
- Turnaround
- Module swap in 30 seconds with no tools, then straight back into the air.
With the multifunction custom module, which combines tactical functions and can integrate range extenders:
- Intended effect
- Freight delivery and area surveillance, or reconnaissance and emergency drop, in the same sortie.
- Outcome
- One sortie, several missions completed.

FSC-15M design
Designed for safety and operational availability.
Specific avionics
Robust avionics, distinct from the civil version, tailored to defence operational requirements.
Reinforced communications
Reinforced communication systems, distinct from the civil version, for dependable links in the field.
Tilt-wing tandem biplane
Four independent wings, each with its own tilt mechanism.
Mechanically locked wings
Each wing is driven by a SSWING Actuator (Super Safe Wing Actuator) with redundant mechanical locking, held with no power or command needed.
Two independent flight control channels
On two separate power channels: aerodynamic control surfaces and wing tilt. Stable flight, with direct manual piloting possible even without stabilisation avionics.
Dissimilar propulsion groups
Motors, controllers and propellers differ between front and rear. Rear propellers fold in cruise.
Two independent power channels
One battery at each end of the fuselage, each with its own CARBB (Connected Automated Remote Bus Bar): one bus per battery, carrying 48 V straight from the battery and 12 V generated by the CARBB. Every line has its own protection, monitored and resettable remotely.
Fixed quadricycle landing gear
Steerable and braked, for operating from standard runways.
Lightweight, rigid composite structure
Load-bearing structure kept separate from the aerodynamic fairings: less time on the ground, simpler field maintenance.
Range on demand
The range extender is part of the module, independent of the aircraft: it is carried only for the missions that need it. No dead weight the rest of the time.
Electric
Additional batteries.
Thermal
Thermal generator.
Liquid hydrogen
No noise, no emissions.
