Micro Cub
The Micro Cub is a small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) built and flown out of NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center. This aircraft is intended to expand the capabilities provided by the DROID aircraft by increasing tow weight, range, altitude, and endurance. It is based on the Hempel 60% Super Cub as the base airframe. The airframe is reinforced and mated to a SPT-15 JetCat turbo prop to provide greater power for towing operations, as well as improved performance to allow operation above 10,000 feet. As with DROID aircraft, the Micro Cub has been outfitted with Cloud Cap Piccolo flight controller, and can be remotely piloted via RC or a mobile Ground Control Station (GCS).
