BUSHLINER 1850 | SMC
SPECIAL MISSION CAPABLE AIRCRAFT

Featuring a large, 22" camera port, the Bushliner 1850 SMC is optimized for aerial surveillance, reconnaissance, and photography. The advanced system ensures safe deployment during takeoff and landing while providing high-quality observation capabilities for extensive missions.

The integrated infrared lighting system enhances safety and visibility during low-light and night operations. This cutting-edge feature supports covert missions and ensures reliable performance in challenging environments.

With a spacious cabin and an extra-large 48 × 36 inch cargo door, the Bushliner 1850 SMC provides a useful load of up to 2,000 lbs, enabling efficient transport of personnel, equipment, or mission supplies in remote or austere environments.

The aircraft is built around flexible mission integration:

• Internal L-Track mounting system allowing rapid installation of seats, cargo restraints, mission consoles, medical equipment, or specialized payloads

• External hard points supporting modular mission equipment and external stores

• Up to 1,000 lbs of capacity per wing, enabling carriage of sensors, pods, cargo systems, or mission-specific equipment

This architecture allows rapid reconfiguration between logistics, ISR, humanitarian, and special mission roles without modifying the baseline aircraft.

The Bushliner 1850 SMC can be rapidly configured for medical evacuation and humanitarian response operations. The cabin accommodates up to two folding stretchers, allowing transport of injured personnel while maintaining space for medical attendants and essential equipment.

The flat cabin floor and integrated L-Track mounting system enable quick installation of medical kits, monitoring equipment, oxygen systems, or patient support modules, supporting casualty evacuation, disaster relief, and remote medical access missions from austere or unimproved locations.

The Bushliner 1850 SMC is designed for practical mission endurance, combining a useful load of approximately 2,000 lbs with efficient Jet-A operation. Cruising near 160 KTAS at roughly 15 GPH, the aircraft delivers long-range capability while maintaining meaningful payload capacity.

Extended endurance configurations allow increased range or extended loiter time, supporting surveillance, patrol, and persistent mission operations where time on station is critical.

The Bushliner 1850 is engineered from the outset to support future autonomous and remotely supervised operations without changing the baseline aircraft configuration. Flight controls, electrical architecture, and avionics integration are designed to accommodate autonomy systems, sensor packages, and mission control interfaces as regulatory frameworks evolve.

This approach allows the aircraft to operate today as a piloted platform while maintaining a clear upgrade path toward optionally piloted, remotely assisted, or autonomous mission capability—extending operational flexibility and long-term platform relevance.

The Bushliner 1850 is designed for long-term operational relevance, aligned with modern aviation infrastructure and global fuel availability. Powered by a Jet-A compression-ignition engine, the aircraft operates within the worldwide turbine fuel supply chain rather than relying on legacy 100LL avgas.

This infrastructure-first approach supports remote operations, international deployment, fleet standardization, and long-term service continuity as the industry transitions away from leaded fuels. The result is an aircraft built not just for performance today, but for sustained operation within the future aviation ecosystem.
