Aircraft program
Medium lift UAV for cargo hauling in conformal pod or external sling load configuration, primarily for military operations. Formerly Kaman Air Vehicles KARGO UAV, Piasecki Aircraft acquired rights in 2025. In development.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
