From the ground up, the BAS aircraft Model “TD100” is an outstanding piece of purpose-built engineering. Every aspect of this remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) has been designed with the same attention to detail and rigour as a passenger aircraft. In fact from the outset the TD100 was engineered with a corporate mandate to meet or exceed the regulatory guidelines for todays commercial aircraft, an accomplishment which even now precedes any such legislation. PAYLOAD/SENSORS Co-designer Brian McLuckie sometimes refers to the TD100E as “The Canadian Shuttle.” He uses the term because – though an outstanding platform – the aircraft is merely the enabler to put a myriad of technologies in the sky. The carrying capacity of the TD100E is 9.1 kg – or 20 lbs, more than enough to carry a wide variety of payloads – from sensors for measuring air quality to delivering critical medication to remote locations. THE SOLUTION Computer-assisted design, computational fluid dynamics simulation and wind-tunnel testing were used exhaustively in the TD100E’s development. The fuselage and wing molds were precision-milled directly from the CAD drawings. Even the custom electronics were engineered, in partnership with Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), National Research Council (NRC) and CAE to eliminate aircraft-generated magnetic noise. Brian McLuckie In an industry where off-the-shelf systems are being promoted as breakthroughs Brican Aircraft Systems comes with an unparalleled pedigree. Its flawless production and mechanics come from Brian McLuckie – whose Brican Technologies Inc. is acknowledged as Canada’s leader in custom robotic systems and factory automation.
