Flyox I would be the largest drone to fly at the Pendleton UAS Range — much larger than the ArcticShark, which was unveiled to the public in March. Flyox has a maximum takeoff weight of 8,378 pounds with a 45-foot wingspan and 145 mph cruising speed. A Cessna, for comparison, weighs about 2,000 pounds. The vehicle is designed to drop water on forest fires, and has a payload of more than 4,000 pounds. It may be customized in the future for other uses as well, including agriculture and general cargo deliveries. Abling said he expects to have a conference call with Singular Aircraft sometime between next Wednesday and Friday, when the range will receive final word. “They absolutely liked our capabilities,” Abling said. “When we were in Dallas, we had a lot of people come up. Our name and reputation are definitely getting out there.” ——— Contact George Plaven at gplaven@eastoregonian. com or 541-966-0825.

The ban applies to the city, Rieth Water District and the fire districts of Lower McKay, McKay Dam, and Riverside. Pendleton does not allow burn barrels within city limits, but the ban does not apply to burn barrels in the fire districts. However, people only may burn in barrels on “green days,” according to the statement from the fire department. To find out if a day is “green,” call the Umatilla County burn line at 541-278- 6397, or visit the county website at http://www.co.umatilla.or.us/. Open burning is any outdoor burning, backyard burning, and piles of yard debris. Burning stumps, field burns, burning trash, commercial waste, construction debris, and bonfires require permits available from the Pendleton Fire Department at no charge. For more information visit the Pendleton Fire Department at 911 S.W. Court Ave. or www.pendleton. or.us/fire-ambulance .

It is being developed to assist in firefighting. cold front 70s Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 104° in Needles, Calif. Low 26° in Bodie State Park, Calif. Pendleton open burning ends Monday The manager of Pend- leton’s Unmanned Aerial Systems Range said he expects to hear next week if the Flyox I, a massive Span- ish-made drone designed to assist with firefighting, will run test flights at the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport. Darryl Abling said the drone manufacturer, Singular Aircraft, is considering Pendleton along with fellow Oregon UAS ranges in Warm Springs and Tillamook. The final decision could be made as early as Wednesday. “This could be a huge win for the Oregon ranges and the city of Pendleton, if it comes here,” Abling said. Singular Aircraft has partnered with a Canadian company called Unmanned Aircraft International in its effort to gain U.S. certifica- tion for the Flyox I, a move that Abling said would essentially open the door to marketing the product worldwide. Abling said he had a chance meeting with repre- sentatives of Unmanned Aircraft International at the recent Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International trade show in Dallas. The company was looking for U.S. airspace, 60s National Summary: Showers will erupt over northern New England today.
