The platform, in perspective

Longer flights. A different way to plan.

Gasoline-electric power for projects where time aloft matters. Explore a hybrid aircraft for longer survey runs and remote field operations.

Perimeter 8 uses an engine-driven generator to power its electric motors. Fuel injection, automated engine control, and ground-station telemetry simplify managing the hybrid powertrain.
