X-Wing First fully-automated flight

Pegasus Actuators acknowledges this achievement and is proud
to support the future in aviation.


February 2021

The Czech customer Liaz asked for our assistance and we at Pegasus Actuators are now serving another most promising European uav project with our servo actuators.

The SkySpotter 150 VTOL UAV is a fully autonomous and independently operating unmanned helicopter system, providing multiple advantages such as:

  • Tasks to be undertaken in close proximity to the object under observation at the lowest possible altitude.
  • Protecting the pilot while performing tasks in hazardous areas
  • Autonomous and automatic flight modes
  • 15 minutes flight readyness
  • Multiple payload oportunities
  • Lowest manpower requirements
  • 650 lbs MTOW
  • 85 lbs payload
  • Up to 5 hrs flight endurance

Machining Center achieves full operability.

Pegasus Actuators is proud to announce that its CNC machining center achieved full operability.

With the investment into a 3-axis milling machine with optional 4th axis as well as hiring highly trained and experienced personnel Pegasus Actuators now has the possiblities to enhances its in-house production capabilities and gain more freedom for individualized customer solutions of our products. The new possibilities of shortening the development time from an early sketch to the final product using methods from rapid prototyping with 3D-printers to CNC-machining unfold a whole new era of development and manufacturing to our engineers to raise the bar for benchmark actuators made in Germany.

Pegasus collaboration with the tactical UAV designers from AUTH

Greece has entered a new era in the design, development and production of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) and its Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics & Turbomachinery (LFMT) was a pioneer and a key player in this effort, starting with the HCUAV RX-1. With a rather conventional, boom-mounted inverted V-tail configuration, the RX-1 made its maiden flight back in 2016.

Shortly after, the LFMT made a breakthrough by initiating two new, UAV-design related projects: The DELAER RX-3 and the MPU RX-4. The RX-3 is a tactical UAV that will be able to cover large-scale surveillance missions and swiftly deliver 50kg of useful payload via airdrop in times of crisis or rescue missions, whereas the RX-4 is a micro, versatile UAV that will be able to cover surveillance-related missions at almost any terrain using its novel VTOL and hovering capabilities.

The three robotic unmanned airborne systems, RX-1, RX-3 and RX-4, were presented at the Thessaloniki International Fairs (TIFs) that took place in 2016, 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Pegasus Actuators supplied the control surface actuators for those systems.

Professor Kyros Yakinthos, Director, Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics & Turbomachinery Department of Mechanical Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki had this to say about us: "Thank you guys! I really appreciate your support and your will to help us!"
