The LASA 5 team have completed their first ATLAS flight campaign. A full week of flying two versions of the craft, characterising its flight, testing the auto flying systems and testing payloads completed.
Speaking about the trial, Jonathan Peters (Trials officer and PM) said….
“ The Atlas trial was a great success with a very competent and enthusiastic, yet inexperienced trials team. The team ethos and willingness to step out of their comfort zone to achieve a successful trial was outstanding. In a week long campaign we successfully flew 9 flights, split between LASA V1 and V2 aircraft and achieved 14 hours of flight time. This included a 3 hour 20 minute endurance flight with the new V2 platform. I am looking forward to further flight trials with this team. ”
