RnR Products manufactured the Mark I Aerosonde.
The Aerosonde was developed as a UAV for weather observations. In 1998, the Aerosonde became the first UAV to complete a Trans-Atlantic Ocean Crossing.
Requirements included:
- Strong enough to withstand severe air turbulence.
- Speed to get "on station" quickly
- Payload included computers and meteorological equipment
- Long duration on-site support (Meteorological readings taken and relayed to ground stations.)
- Low cost
Two sets of wings were developed three weeks after receiving their order. These wings have been used for demonstration flights since 1992.
