The Swift Fortus UAS is a fixed-wing tube-launch that leverages folding aircraft technology funded and developed internally by Swift’s research and development program. The current Swift Fortus is a 7lb, 6.5-ft wingspan, 4-ft length UAV that folds into a 6″ diameter tube. This configuration has hundreds of recorded launches, is modular to accept many DoD payloads, and is ready to be developed to customer specifications. In addition, the platform can scale to standard launch tube sizes such as 3″ dia, 4-7/8″ dia, and 6″ dia.
