Raytheon Flight Test Operation’s EGRETT II aircraft is an all composite, multi-purpose, single turboprop engine, high aspect ratio, mid-wing platform specifically designed to accommodate a wide variety of electro-optical, radar, LIDAR, SIGINT, and scientific / research payloads for high altitude, long endurance, applications.

The aircraft can operate from most paved runways. No special airport infrastructure is required. The aircraft has dual GPS and is all-weather (IFR/icing) capable and is dual certified as both an EXPERIMENTAL and NORMAL aircraft under US regulations.

Twelve non-pressurized equipment bays, totaling 225 cubic feet, are distributed throughout the fuselage and can be configured, in modular packages, to accept various customer payloads or adapt to changing mission requirements. The equipment bays are ventilated and heated or cooled as necessary to maintain a temperature controlled environment. The entire lower portion of the fuselage is non-structural greatly simplifying ease of access and modification of the aircraft for unusual side or downward looking payload configurations.
