To introduce innovation in aerospace new technologies have to be developed and tested, which requires suitable test equipment. Efficient way to do this is UAV platform as a testbed. This paper describes manufacturing of such a platform. A variety of new technologies, that can be investigated are discussed, including alternative propulsion systems, new avionics and new aerodynamic devices.
