MRO does not restrain the Mini-Bee to the groundthanks to evolutive and

modular design

Decision making and navigation support through

flight path management solutions

Intuitive use throughredesigned IHM and driving

experience

Low-Cost and light structure reduce the acquisition and

operational costs

• Modules can easily be supplied by ULD or container to maintain disponibility

• Each module can be monitored seperatly from the aircraft

• Reduced preparation time.

• Find the flight path to waypoints and consider actual air traffic

• Increase flexibility on the mission through new touchdown areas or rendezvous points

• Low-Cost modules

• High autonomy to decrease the training costs and operational costs

• Intuitive control

• User friendly interfaces to shorten initial formation and increase medical time
