Electric tilt-rotor UAV

SE2C

Vertical accessWing-borne cruiseAll-electric

An electric tilt-rotor UAV that takes off vertically and cruises on its wing: 120 minutes in the air, 30 km of range and a 4,500 m ceiling, with the EO/IR payload mounted clear at the rear.

About

SE-2C lifts off like a multicopter, then tilts its two front rotors forward to cruise on the wing. A blown canard keeps it stable at high angles, and differential thrust replaces the vertical tail, which saves weight for endurance.

Dual tilt rotorsVertical access, then efficient forward cruise.

Blown canardLess drag and more control at high angles.

No tail finDifferential thrust does the job of a vertical stabiliser.

Rear EO/IR payloadA clear view behind the rotors.

Common questions

How does SE-2C take off?

Vertically, like a multicopter. Its two front rotors then tilt forward and it cruises on the wing.

How long can it fly?

Up to 120 minutes, with 30 km of range and a 75 km/h cruise speed.

What does it carry?

An EO/IR payload, mounted at the rear so the rotors do not block its view.

Why does it have no tail fin?

Differential thrust from the rotors steers the aircraft, which saves weight and adds endurance.

Buying and support

How do we buy from Star INXS: GeM, tender or direct?

All three. We support purchases through GeM, open and limited tenders, defence portals and direct purchase orders. Our Tender & GeM desk shares OEM authorisations, technical compliance statements and bid documents for your requirement.

How long does delivery take?

It depends on the product, the quantity and the configuration. We confirm the delivery schedule in the budgetary quote.

What warranty and support do you give?

Every quote states the warranty period and what it covers. After delivery we support you with spares and maintenance. Tell us your tender's warranty and AMC conditions and we will respond to them.

Do you train our operators?

Yes. We train your operators and maintainers at handover. For drones, pilots can build their skills first on DroneSim, our flight simulator.

Can we see a demonstration?

Yes. Ask for a demo in your enquiry. Simulators can be shown at our facility, at your unit or online; for drones and range equipment we arrange a demonstration to suit the requirement.

Who can buy your products?

Armed forces, CAPF, state police, PSUs, training institutes and private companies, depending on the product. Strike systems are supplied only to Indian government and authorised defence users.
