IIRC, it was a demonstration during a press publicity day at the Woomera rocket range to show how far the technology of flying a drone had advanced
ah……that didn’t go well then:o
YellowAster Could this have been an overshoot rather than take-off ? The flaps in the U.10 were automatically controlled, dependant on flight mode, and, according to PN, were normally only extended during “LAND GLIDE”.
That’s a good point, I’ve never seen the PN for what is essentially a ARTF out of the box R/C model. Slightly surprised the pilot has no control over them.
Do you know if the pilot would have been in a cabin with no visual reference on the airfield?
