STRIX Program Update
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- Developing the #STRIX uncrewed aerial system has brought teams together from every corner of Australia to work on a next generation platform that will rely on VTOL and fly conventionally. Its rapid development schedule is pushing engineering to its physical limits. Watch the video to hear from the team and about the cutting-edge work completed over the past 18 months.

Well done to the teams at BAE Systems Australia and Innovaero
Great to see a unique design and build. Nice work.
Australia is rapidly improving the concept-to-prototype times of these sort of projects. Usually this sort of aircraft would take several years to fly but the programs seem to have been rapidly accelerated. NOT BEFORE TIME. Hope this one works well. It would be great flying from smaller ships in containerised form.
Wow I can't believe this is being done in Australia, something other than digging up resources or just importing everything and marking it up and selling it, I am 75 years old and remember when Australia was a self-sufficient industrial powerhouse, I was looking at You Tube videos recently of aircraft we used to manufacture in OZ, and just like the Auto and truck manufacturing this generation would find it hard to believe we were once a nation that had skills, capable tradesmen and technicians.
There's a lot of back-slapping in this video, but very little content on the goals and capabilities of this platform.
Secret squirrel :)
It's a vertical/short take-off horizontal-flying hover-capable drone that fits in a shipping container when folded, so it can be transported anywhere by common means. It has an electro-optical suite and can carry bombs externally.
Of course. bae systems is devoted to stealing money from armed forces and giving them shit.
@@HenryKlausEsq. Thanks for the TDLR lol
that rings true with many brand new shiny toys
so, it appears that the "vertical" offset between "front" and "rear" drives, allows for software to rotate the airframe around a virtual center, as well as adjusting "yaw" in software...so no tilting wings or motors, and a kind of canard configuration in forward horizontal flight...maybe? the only clue was "no moving parts", and the driver offsets.
My thoughts as well
Thank you, is it possible for more updates please.
GO AUSSIES!!!
gorgeous. curious about that power-train though.. damn that would make a scary gun platform 😆
That's what I was thinking ... drone A-10 Warthog
While flying upside down, what we in the painting and decorating trade call ' Inverted ' , can it also serve drinks ?
Love the domestic manufacturing. We need scale though, bespoke hand-assembled systems aren't going to be disposable enough for the future battlefield. Take this design and build a factory pumping 1k a year out.
What Oz needs is mega numbers of cheap drones just like the Ukrainians are using and developing. Strip costs big dollars. Just look at the value and record of the Oz cardboard drones.
well said. the cardboard drones need to be manufactured at scale (x1000). Need mass to provide a credible deterrent.
Where are the $500 Drones
No moving parts….except the propellers, the wheels……??
Big ass FPV drone
Oh look.... Theres a car sized drone.
"...and once we're satisfied with the prototype, we'll be sending it to our testing partners based in New Jersey"
umm, wait... what?
Yes....please, 'Tell, don't show'. (Satire)
It is very sad to see the smart people proud of making weapons. And they call this "defense" industry. What a shame for humanity.
Send it to Ukraina
wow...a quadcopter. never seen that before
Basically Blackfly with only four motors (no redundancy) why have anhedral on the front wing - reduces tip clearance (prop tips...)
I did a quite similar configuration over 30 years ago (reported on plus photos) but it also folded itself . Designer of Opal (world first composite tail pusher 1975, RAAF basic trainer candidate Sapphire 1980 (govt aircraft design failed) etc etc. Saw it at Avalon and asked... why? Too much money, too many cooks, too soon. Cf to ghost bat flop.
Sad that the innovator who came up with the concept which was stolen will never get any credit
who?
I'm curious
@@goddepersonno3782 Me :), if your part of the team per chance im curious how this concept was given to the STRIX team. My guess is the government gave them an initial concept and let them run with it.
@@Chris-g5r6f I'm not part of the team, but I am an aerospace engineering student and I'm confident enough to assess the truth of your claim myself. You wouldn't be the first person to have falsely believed their ideas were stolen by a big aerospace company
Could you tell me more about how they would have gotten their hands on the concept from you? Did you publish it anywhere?
I'm not trying to be dismissive, but I need to see something first before taking a stance
@@goddepersonno3782I'm a mechanical engineer, but this isn't something you can assess the truth of. TLDR I didn't publish anything was just a conversation I had with someone telling them the concept. You might be aware that our phones actively listen to all our conversation, combine that with the framework that America's three letter agencies work with silicon valley to mass surveil the world population not only for terrorists but corporate espionage. Going down this rabbit hole I wouldn't recommend you to do but if you're humble enough to take my advice and you are an aspiring entrepreneur, learn good op-sec and go to America to start your business. Otherwise your competition in America will always coincidentally come up with the same ideas, at the same time and usually come out with them quicker. Yes this is an australian/british corporation but I have no ideas how the five eyes do business that's why I was asking if you knew how the company got the concept originally. My current theory is that when the agencies get intel on new fields of designs, and then they have national champions to pursue them to see if there is potential. Anyways good luck to you in aerospace engineering, hope it leads to a passionate career.
lame
12 months build. Doesn't sound great...
Why so much nationalism? You guys sound ;like north koreans…
Lol being happy to build weapons domestically isn't North Korean nationalism.
