The SH-3 (Sky Hawk 3) uses technologies of SH-1. The SH-3 adopts a twin-boom configuration with a two-blade pusher propeller driven by piston engine, and it also adopts a inverted v-tail. The aerodynamic layout of the SH-3 UAV features a square cross section fuselage, non-tapering wings, rear skids and reversed V-type fins. The square fuselage enables easy equipment installation. The slight dihedral and mounting angle on the wings increase the stability and reduce the drag. The rudders on the rear edge of the fins can control both the UAV pitch and course.
