The EURO HAWK unmanned aircraft system (UAS) set a flight endurance record while utilizing VPT’s high efficiency DC-DC converters and EMI Filters. The EURO HAWK UAS flew non-stop for 25.3 hours in European airspace and reached 58,600 feet over Manching Air Base in Germany. The flight represented the longest duration flown in European skies by an un-refuelled UAS in the more than 30,000-pound class.
