Industrial Jet Wash Spray Drones

D8 High Altitude Spray Drone

This D8 series variant was produced to enable precision spraying at much greater height than the original Harrier version. The D8 is a very powerful aircraft that can lift the hose full of water to over 200 feet. Spraying is undertaken using our 2nd generation robotic spray arm that now offers various control modes such as full proportional, position and hybrid position modes, and also includes automated side to side and rotational movements of the spray arm to cover specific areas with only general directional control required from the operator. A clear view of the spraying operation is provided by a high mounted FPV camera including a one axis gimbal with a cleaning pad to keep the camera free of water and maintain a clear view for the operator.

Harrier 7 Precision Spray Drone

This waterproof Harrier 7 variant was fitted with a high power jet wash with custom built remotely operated robotic arm. Designed to operate at up to 20m above take off point (to cover tidal variation) this aircraft is used to clean the guano from access ladders on the new breed of ultra large wind turbines in the North Sea. Located over 100 miles off shore, these turbines provide the only place to land for sea birds for miles and so attract them in huge numbers. The resulting guano presents a significant health and safety risk to engineers working on the structures and has to be removed prior to access. Operating from a crew vessel in what can only be described as very harsh conditions, this aircraft is highly resistant to wind, rain and spray, and with it’s high pressure cleaning payload enables safe access without risk to engineers who would otherwise have to call in a specialist crew to clean the structure.
