thanks. Quite an innovative approach.
in fact the VTOL character of CANTAS is similar to Convair XFY Pogo, there are no tilt rotors, jet nozzles with thrust vectoring or flexible engine mounting in construction. CANTAS has original autopilot system with automatic stabilization for hoovering, it can operate in full autonomic regime with possibility to set up or change trajectory during fly by operator or can be controlled manually. The control station can transmit data and commands for several UAVs at once, and it can also receive them. The image and all the data from the aircraft’s avionics, sensors, reconnaissance systems and cameras are transmitted to the control centre using UHV-VHF technology in real time. The range of the communication system is over 100 km.

L-539 bizjet project made on L-39 base in 1998 by LET Kunovice (producer of L-410 for example) for an US costumer request…
Jan Vlček, long time chief designer and constructor of Aero Vodochody and chief designer and constructor of L-29 and L-39, suggested many interesting projects of training and attact planes, for example like this L-19T Kantor from 1981 (comparition with L-39MS)
