Concept Design

Specter is designed to fill the capability gap between high-end platforms and low-cost expendable systems. The capability of one, the cost-efficiency of the other. A long-endurance, low-observable ISR aircraft built around affordability, domestic manufacturing, and off-the-shelf systems.

One Airframe. Two Missions.

Blended-Wing Lift

The entire airframe generates lift. Eliminating the fuselage removes parasitic drag and structural dead weight — meaningful aerodynamic efficiency gains over equivalent tube-and-wing configurations. More time on station without growing the platform.
