Miniature Observer (MinO)

Developed from the larger Observer vehicle produced by the same Cranfield/Qinetiq alliance the MinO uses similar technologies in a miniaturised package. The aircraft uses a gust insensitive airframe and nose mounted camera system, both features of the original observer.

The vehicle has undertaken a series of test flights.
