An FVR designed for long endurance, 12 to 18 hours, with an 8 to 22 pound payload capacity. This aircraft is intended to demonstrate the excellent endurance achievable with Hybrid Quadrotor™ technology.

FVR–55 Don’t Compromise. It’s an ethos we all live by, yet many have accepted less with no better solution available. To break this paradigm, L3Harris Technologies has demonstrated dominance through HQ, an uncompromising Hybrid Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). HQ is a superior solution to our customers’ hardest problems,
