Westland Helicopters Ltd. have been active in the field of Remotely Piloted Vehicles since 1968. Feasibility studies for a surveillance and target acquisition system led to a proposal for a remotely piloted helicopter (RPH) with co-axial twin rotors having symmetry about the rotor axis. This paper describes the RPH, Westland Wisp, one of a number of projects that have proceeded into hardware status and which has commenced flight trials. Wisp carries a trainable television camera and gyro based automatic stabilisation equipment, it is operable by 2 persons, one of whom performs all piloting functions. (DePo)
