Long-Endurance, Electric-Powered, Hybrid Gyroplane–Helicopter Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS)

The National Research Council of Canada's (NRC) Centre for Drone Innovation, part of the

Drone and Flight Autonomy Laboratory, has a requirement for the supply of one (1) long endurance,

fully electric, hybrid gyroplane–helicopter vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)

remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS), Airial UAS GHX25 or equivalent, including ground

control station software, flight battery and charger, one (1) additional flight battery, and

manufacturer-provided training, suitable for the integration and deployment of specialized

scientific and remote-sensing payloads over extended survey areas and in confined, remote and

operationally demanding environments.
