About the Mosaic Aviation MSQ-2

The Mosaic Aviation MSQ-2 is a small electric unmanned aircraft system designed for commercial aerial photography, surveying, and inspection operations. Certificated by the FAA under Part 21, it represents one of the early wave of type-certificated small UAS entering the U.S. National Airspace System for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations.

The quadcopter configuration uses four electric motors and is limited to 55 pounds maximum takeoff weight, placing it in the light UAS category. Its never-exceed speed of 87 knots allows efficient coverage of survey areas while remaining well below manned aircraft operating speeds. The type is primarily operated by aerial survey and photography companies conducting infrastructure inspection, mapping, and environmental monitoring missions.

SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
