Posted last week

Worldwide

Summary

In need for a team that can construct the first airframe, potentially more airframes in future. Not consulting, not a one off - but tweaking existing aerodynamics and making sure the RC aircraft could adhere to the following requirements: - As short as possible takeoff and landing distance - Able to hold cargo payload of 10-11 containers 2 kg each - LD7 igloos contoured for the aircraft (Not a part of the aircraft project) and rollers - LNAV capable, following predefined routes - Approach guidance via predefined glideslope (NOT ILS, but still showing the deviation via PFDs) - RC controlled via flight sim equipment, controlling the real airframe - Preferbally electric / ecp friendly - Range requirement flexible - between 100 to 150 km - Other real vital systems( lights, battery on off switching) (for other components, look at the real 737-800F - this is basically a scaled down version, with a bit less systems and different payload and range) - Maintanance plans after the airframe is tested Milestone based payemnt, still not final pay details, plus a % income from flights - negoetiable. We do not have the budget of trillion dollars, but we do can share income from future flihgts, base monhtly fee - still to be decided. Minor tweaks to the aircraft design are possible, but again, keeping the 737-800F shape. 1:10 scale. Currently yet unknown start date, but more information very soon. Right now seeking for teams that can do that, and discussing details.
