METAIR uses a TTC-ECO-DIMO as a platform for carrying instruments of all kind. The advantages of this self-launching, two-seated motor glider are the very quiet operation, the low fuel consumption, a travel speed of 170 to 180 km/h and a maximum flight time of more than five hours.
Two “underwingpods” (aerodynamically optimized containers) are mounted below the wings. Each of them can carry a maximum of 50kg of of scientific instrumentation.

We offer a wide range of measuring systems (meteorological, chemical, remote sensing). The measuring system can be modified, extended or reorganized at any time to meet your specific needs.
