Dutch company Geocopter has delivered its first light unmanned rotorcraft system, named GC-201, to its launch customer and development partner, the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR).
The GC-201, aimed at the law enforcement, firefighting and defence markets, was handed over to NLR chief executive Michel Peters by Geocopter chief executive Roland Haarbrink.
"This is another successful result of our mission as NLR to support the national industry and innovate for and with Dutch companies, either big or small, like Geocopter," Peters said.
The GC-201 features twin gas turbine engines, a lightweight carbonfibre fuselage and automatic take-off and landing systems.
