Wake Engineering

Wake Engineering, formerly known as Aerovision, is a Spanish unmanned aircraft maker. Its principal product is the Fulmar, a catapult-launched, net-recovered fixed-wing mini UAV built for maritime and land intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance work. The aircraft's flight control system was developed by fellow Spanish company UAV Navigation, which has worked on the Fulmar programme since its start.

Thales Spain became Wake Engineering's technology and commercialisation partner for the Fulmar, marketing it and a navalised derivative under the Fulmar and Fulmar X names and giving the aircraft a design that lets it take off from and land aboard a vessel while under way. Wake Engineering has also been developing a water-landing variant of the Fulmar intended for maritime patrol and fisheries-monitoring roles.

Wake Engineering's listed product on this site is the Fulmar, in service with Spain and Malaysia; the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency ordered six Fulmar systems in 2016 for its patrol craft, and Spain's Ministry of Defence contracted for the type in 2017.
