The Teros is intended to provide extended range,
high altitude performance in a wider range of
environments and performing even more
challenging missions than NASC's existing
TigerShark series, which has performed
exceptionally well for the company's Department
of Defense customers. "The Xenos Motorglider is
a perfect fit for UAV application," stated Sonex
Founder John Monnett. "The UAV mission is
something we've been envisioning since the
design of the Moni Motorglider in the 1980's,
combining performance and efficiency with
extremely simple and economical construction."
"Collaboration with NASC offers a wonderful
opportunity for Sonex Aircraft, LLC to diversify
its markets," quoted Sonex General Manager Mark
Schaible. "Such diversification only serves to
strengthen the level of service and quality
offered to our existing customer base through
growth and increased stability.
"When it comes to innovation, there’s no
question that Sonex and AeroConversions
customers benefit from seemingly unrelated Sonex
R&D efforts via new product derivatives that
have the potential to reach the homebuilt
aircraft and engine marketplaces. A prototyping
and production agreement with NASC leverages our
new in-house quick build production capability
perfectly, allowing Sonex to maintain a strong
production department with a steady workforce
for consistent production of both Sonex Aircraft
Quick Build Kit airframes, and airframes for
NASC at an increased capacity."
