Lehmann Aviation LA200

Lehmann Aviation LA200 is a fully automatic lightweight small UAV launched by Lehmann Aviation Ltd, the manufacturer of leightweight versatile UAS, in July 2013.

The LA200 is a totally autonomous «drone». It was designed for people with no piloting background and it does not require any training. It works with GoPro Hero, Hero2 or Hero3 camera and enables to capture professional quality aerial images and video (up to 12 Mp). It was initially done for TV channels, documentaries and corporate communications.

The LA200 works with any Windows8 touchscreen tablet needed for setting up flight parameters. For flight preparation and mission control the user has to «draw» on a touchscreen tablet the area of interest and enter waypoints. Afterwards Lehmann’s OperationCenter automatically generates missions and programs the drone. The flight data is then to be transmitted to the drone via WI-FI. After mounting GoPro Hero, Hero2 or Hero3 on the wing and launching the drone by hand, the user has to wait until it automatically flies over the chosen waypoints and lands.[1]

The LA200 is the 2nd drone of Lehmann Aviation L-A series of fully automatic civil SUAV which differs from Lehmann Aviation L-M series of aircraft that can be controlled from the ground (LP960, LM450, LV580). There are other two drones in L-A series:LA100 and LA300.
