Description:
This is a detailed yet lightweight 3D model of the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
Technical Notes:
This model includes GBU-12 Paveway II missiles and Hellfire 2 missiles.
Surfaces are parented and pivoted for animation, such as that the local animation pivots should allow easy animation of flaps, ailerons, and trims.
There are two group objects in the scene which have no children, these are intended to animate the rear landing gear up in to the compartment. To use these, reparent the rear landing gear to the respective left and right rear gear animation groups, and note the keys are set for 1 (fully down), and 40 (fully up). If you use the group key values the gear will lift without intersecting the drive bays.
Polygon Count:
Faces 57956
Verts 58755
With Armaments:
Faces 257620
Verts 242427
Textures:
Detailed textures are in 8K resolution including color, specular, and bump/normal maps. The photoshop master file is available for you to download to easily repaint surfaces with the UV overlay visible. Renders are using the 8K version of the textures.
History:
The General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper (sometimes called Predator B) is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, one component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS)) capable of remotely controlled or autonomous flight operations, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) primarily for the United States Air Force (USAF). The MQ-9 and other UAVs are referred to as Remotely Piloted Vehicles/Aircraft (RPV/RPA) by the USAF to indicate ground control by humans.
The MQ-9 is a larger, heavier, more capable aircraft than the earlier General Atomics MQ-1 Predator and can be controlled by the same ground systems. The Reaper has a 950-shaft-horsepower (712 kW) turboprop engine (compared to the Predator's 115 hp (86 kW) piston engine). The greater power allows the Reaper to carry 15 times more ordnance payload and cruise at about three times the speed of the MQ-1.
