One of the standout features of the Skyraider II is its tailwheel, which enhances its ability to conduct short takeoffs and landings.

Prather noted, “Providing scalable and precise effects is where the Skyraider II will excel. We envision it taking on missions from the U.S. southern border to African regions, presenting challenges to those we are competing with.”
