Black Swift S2 UAS
Black Swift Technologies
The Black Swift S2 UAS is a purpose-built aerial platform for flying scientific payloads in demanding atmospheric environments (high-altitude, corrosive particulates, and strong turbulence). The Black Swift S2 UAS offers the additional benefits of being hand-launchable and having a larger payload capacity than other vehicles while also having longer endurance, higher ceiling, and greater range than vector wing airframes. This rugged airframe is capable of autonomous launch, flight, and landing in difficult mountainous regions.
NOAA Awards Black Swift Technologies Contract to Develop GPS-Denied Navigation for Drones
Black Swift Technologies
These days when aircraft cockpits are heavily automated, pilot responsibilities have changed somewhat from the old days of 'Pilotage and Dead Reckoning' when aviators had to manipulate the commands from beginning to end of each flight.

Description
The Black Swift S0-VTOL is a small, ruggedized UAS engineered for high altitude (up to 15,000 ft. AGL) atmospheric profiling. Capable of completely autonomous flights, its unique design enables rapid ascents and descents allowing the S0 to quickly and accurately capture 3-dimensional wind profiles at various levels.
The S0 is a cost-effective aerial solution perfect for determining the thermodynamics of the atmosphere. Its modular design allows for rapid integration of new sensors and capabilities. The flexibility enables the S0's functionality to expand to provide air quality monitoring and trace gas detection simply by switching out the sensor payloads.
