The Teledyne Ryan Model 410 was a surveillance UAV designed in the United States in the late 1980s.[1][2] In configuration, it was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with twin tails carried on booms and linked by a common horizontal stabilizer.[3] The engine was mounted pusher-fashion at the rear of the fuselage, between the booms. The nosewheel of the tricycle undercarriage was retractable.[3] Construction throughout was of composite materials.[2][3] In 1993, the Model 410 was submitted to the UAV Joint Projects Office in response to a RFP for a Tier II system.[4] In January 1994, the contract was awarded to General Atomics for what would eventually become the RQ-1 Predator.[5]
