The Aerosonde development program has been in effect since the early 1990's with the first field trial flown at the end of 1995 as part of the Maritime Continental Thunderstorm Experiment of northern Australia. Since that time, the Aerosonde has been deployed in diverse jurisdictions and climates in collaboration with the weather services of Australia, Canada, Taiwan and the U.S. Principal results are as follows: (a) more than 1000 flight hours since 1995, (b) seven flights longer than 24 hrs with the longest flight of 30.5hr, (c) flights in severe tropical thunderstorms ( Western Australia, South China Sea), (d) flights in midlatitude icing (Vancouver Island) and arctic environment (Barrow), (e) fully automatic flight from takeoff to landing, (f) control of multiple aircraft from a single ground station, (g) enroute control-by-telephone from weather forecasting centers, (h) first unmanned Atlantic crossing; 3270 km from Newfoundland to Scotland on 20-21 August, 1998 in 26 hr 45 min using 4 kg of fuel.
