Unmanned aerial vehicles & systems
The Hover-jet VTC engine has the potential to provide VTOL abilities to Unmanned Ariel Vehicles (UAV) systems. The modular engine can be incorporated into a variety of airframe sizes depending on specific task.

Rainmaker
Ideally, the Hover-Jet can be incorporated into an UAV delta wing airframe. This platform known as , the Rainmaker, is a fire suppression system. With a self-sealing water bucket and sling the aircraft can be programed to make repeated runs from a fire line to a lake, pond or pool. Providing 500 pounds of water at the fire location without exposing pilots to danger or fatigue. A UAV/UAS can provide this service at a lower operational cost than traditional airborne fire dousing techniques.

Cloud Buster
A spin-off application of avionics design testing is the Cloud-Buster. A conventional delta wing push aircraft. The Cloud-Buster is designed to fly into tornados or other traumatic weather events using an FPV camera. Loaded with scientific instruments and sensors the aircraft can monitor and record atmospheric conditions and transmit information from inside the weather situation to observers on the ground.
