The Seeker is a versatile, purpose built, light observation aircraft specifically designed and developed for surveillance missions. The Seeker is the most cost-effective surveillance aircraft on the market today. It provides unmatched surveillance specific qualities including flexibility, maneuverability, and visibility when compared to both fixed and rotary wing aircraft. Seeker Aircraft, Inc. manufactures, distributes, and supports its aircraft worldwide, offering a turnkey solution for any light observation need across the globe.
The Seeker, a FAA Part 23 Normal Category Certified aircraft, features a side-by-side configured cockpit with helicopter-like visibility along with under fuselage mounting capability and wing hard points. In addition, the Seeker’s high mounted pusher propeller and conventional tail wheel landing configuration make it a superior aircraft to operate where short take offs and landings are required at austere locations. A complete NVG compatible cockpit redesign with a glass navigation system, parts and component standardization and an improved fuel system make the Seeker ideal for commercial operations.
