Unprecedented technological wizardry: Miniaturisation
Fitting all the working components into this life-sized bird's body (8 cm x 2 cm inner diameter) meant leaving all the standard micro patented mechanism methods behind and starting from a revolutionary design:
• Ultra-compact structure, a centrally aligned "vertebral column".
• Mecanics, a proprietary patented speed reducer at the end of the motor enables the usual extensive train of gears to be avoided and a tenfold reduction in the space required.
• Electronics, for optimising the number and layout of components and producing a postage stamp-sized board! As well as using a manufacturing process with tolerance levels worthy of watch-making.
Manageability and range
A bird is not an aeroplane and does not use the same principles to get around. After watching how real birds perform, we developed and patented a control system that uses wing bending, enabling fast and instantaneous manoeuvres that are not possible with a classical drift system. It's thanks to this system, coupled with its adjustable tail effect, that you can even fly it around your sitting room! Outdoors, the amazing range of the radio control (100 m) with its laboratory optimized aerial lets you follow the birds into the clouds.
Weight and materials
We could write extensively on the number of steps we had to work through to achieve à the incredible weight of 8.35 g for the finished bird. Each component, down to the smallest axles, has been the result of a weight-optimization study. The motors: the battery has been developed to an outstanding quality in collaboration with the most specialised manufacturers. The two processors: the most advanced electronic components in miniaturisation have been selected. Unconventional materials (liquid crystal polymer, carbon fibre, self-lubricated polyacetate) have been used to maintain performance while reducing the weight. Not to mention the wings research, enabling such great propulsion.
2.4 GHz Spread Spectrum
We have selected the system that works best in the field of modern top-of-the-range radio control, 2.4 GHz, even though at first sight it is bulkier and more complicated to develop than the normal infra red type or 27 MHz systems. The reason? To "eliminate" the problem of cutting out and the ludicrously short range of the systems mentioned above, once and for all. To use Spread Spectrum's ability to synchronise the bird and its radio control automatically and so be able to play with several at once in the same place, without requiring a separate "processor". At the very heart of this technology, we have selected top-of-the-range American processors which allow the required range to be reached and provide some advanced functions you will discover when using your Avitron.
