Proteus, A High-Altitude, Multi-Mission
Aircraft
Proteus is a twin turbofan high altitude multi
mission aircraft powered by Williams International FJ44-2E
engines. It is designed to carry payloads in the 2000-pound
class to altitudes above 60,000 feet and remain on station
up to 14 hours. Heavier payloads can be carried for shorter
missions. It is intended for piloted as well as for UAV
missions. Missions for Proteus include telecommunications,
reconnaissance, atmospheric research, commercial imaging,
and space launch.
The Proteus is designed with long wings and
a low wing loading needed for efficient high altitude loiter.
It excels in stability and low noise. It is capable of dynamic
maneuvers, needed to operate in adverse conditions. The
crisp, short takeoff and landing uses the unique "three-mains"
landing gear design intended to increase crosswind and wet
runway capability without the use of spoilers.
