Aeryon SkyRanger R60 is a small reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed and built by Aeryon Labs of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The vehicle was developed between 2011-2013.

The SkyRanger R60 is a vertical take-off and landing VTOL quadcopter requiring no launch equipment. It can hover in a fixed position and weighs 9.9 lb (4.5 kg) without payload.[1]

Design and development

The SykRanger R60 is a quadcopter in layout, with four rotors mounted on booms and four landing gear legs. Payloads are mounted underneath the fuselage on a gimbal mount.

The Scout can be operated beyond the line of sight up to 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) from the user, with a designed operational altitude above ground level of 300 to 500 feet at flying speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour (31 miles per hour) and an endurance of 50 minutes.[1][2] The SkyRanger's design allows flight in adverse weather conditions and it has been flown in wind speeds of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) and temperatures ranging from −30 °C to +50 °C. All communications are digital and encrypted, which reduces the risk of hijacking and video interception.
