Textron eAviation’s Pipistrel subsidiary is displaying its Nuuva V300 and Surveyor multirole aircraft this week at the Paris Air Show. Earlier this year, the Slovenia-based company started flight testing a prototype of the uncrewed Nuuva V300, and it is set to start flying a second example later this year.

Its Surveyor models can be operated with or without a pilot onboard. They are already in service around the world in a variety of military and civil surveillance applications, including infrastructure inspection for the energy, utilities, and construction industries, as well as border security and disaster response. Installed mission equipment can include electro-optical/infrared sensors, lidar pods, wing hard points, and surveillance radars.
