Anduril requests flight approval for new twin-boom CP-200 remotely piloted aircraft

Anduril Industries has submitted a petition to the FAA seeking authorization to operate its newly developed CP-200 remotely piloted aircraft. The CP-200 is classified as a Group 3 UAS and features a fixed-wing, propeller-driven design. It utilizes a small internal combustion reciprocating engine for propulsion. This request marks the initial step in obtaining necessary flight approvals from American civil aviation regulators. The FAA’s review will determine whether Anduril's proposed operations meet current safety standards.
