ST Engineering has developed the Veloce, a fixed-wing vertical takeoff and landing UAV. There are two sizes of the Veloce, both displayed as full-scale models above the company’s usual large Singapore Airshow stand. Here, the great diversity of the Singapore company’s activities is apparent, divided into three clusters: Aviation, Defence, and Smart City.

Veloce is the latest in a long line of drones and UAVs from ST, most of which are in service, according to Chew Men Leong, chief marketing officer. The smaller Veloce 15 has a takeoff weight of 16-17 kg, a speed of 30-40 knots, a datalink range of up to 15 km, and a maximum endurance of three hours. The larger Veloce 60 has a takeoff weight of 50-70 kg, a speed of 50-70 knots, a datalink range of up to 70 km, and endurance of 12-14 hours.
