BAE Systems to work with SME on uncrewed electric air system

Malloy Aeronautics unveiled its T650 Sting Ray, an uncrewed, battery-powered quadcopter air system weighing just under 300kgs, at DSEI. The vehicle can carry a payload equivalent to its own weight and reach around 140km/h. Its open architecture design allows the integration of most third-party equipment.
