| Source measurement | The Hamaseh can carry up to 185 kg of fuel, equipment, and payload, and has an endurance of up to 11 hours depending on configuration. It is launched via runway takeoff or JATO , and is recovered by runway landing or, in emergencies, a parachute. The Hamaseh can follow pre-determined waypoints to control its flight. Its powerplant is unknown.[source]HESA Hamaseh · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Length: 5.05 m (16 ft 7 in)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Width: 9 m (29 ft 6 in)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Height: 1.9 m (6 ft 3 in)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Empty weight: 230 kg (507 lb)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Gross weight: 415 kg (915 lb)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 194 km/h (121 mph, 105 kn)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Cruise speed: 165 km/h (103 mph, 89 kn)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Stall speed: 110 km/h (68 mph, 59 kn)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Combat range: 200 km (120 mi, 110 nmi)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Endurance: up to 11 h (depending on payload)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Service ceiling: 4,600 m (15,000 ft)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Rate of climb: 4 m/s (790 ft/min)[source]HESA Hamaseh · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
