Hybrid VTOL fixed-wing UAV

A VTOL drone that takes off anywhere and stays up six hours

This hybrid VTOL fixed-wing drone lifts off vertically on four rotors from unprepared ground; a pusher propeller then carries it out to 300 km on the wing. No runway, no catapult, no launch crew.

How the flight works

01 / Flight profile
PHASE 01
Vertical launch

Lifts off from a clearing, a rooftop or a moving vehicle. Two operators, under ten minutes from case to air.

PHASE 02
Transition to cruise

Lift rotors stop, the pusher takes over and the wing carries the load — the efficient part of the mission.

PHASE 03
Precision recovery

Automatic hover-and-land on the launch point or an alternate, including after link loss.

Sea level to alpine, day and night

Qualified from −20 °C to +50 °C, with icing-tolerant airframe finish and wind tolerance to 15 m/s at launch.

02 / Specification

Three configurations, from mapping to long-range ISR

A light VTOL mapping drone, a mid-range ISR build and a long-range configuration share one airframe. Range and endurance follow the payload and battery pack, confirmed per order.

Payloads

03 / Sensors
Zoom camera

Stabilised daylight channel with 30× optical zoom and laser rangefinder for target coordinates.

Zoom + thermal

Dual EO/IR channels in one turret — daylight zoom and thermal imaging, switchable in flight.

LiDAR + zoom

Survey-grade point clouds alongside a zoom channel — mapping and observation in one sortie.

04 / Autonomy

Flies the mission when the link drops

The autopilot navigates without GNSS, the vision stack keeps tracking, and the aircraft returns on its own.

01
GNSS-denied navigation

Visual-inertial positioning holds the route under jamming and spoofing.

02
Onboard computer vision

Detection, classification and tracking without an operator in the loop.

03
Simulator training

Crews train on the same ground station interface they fly with.

Typical missions

Wide-area ISR

Persistent watch over a sector with coordinate handoff to ground units.

Border & coastal patrol

Long legs over water and terrain with no forward infrastructure.

Powerline inspection

Hundreds of kilometres of corridor surveyed in a single sortie.

Topographic survey

LiDAR and photogrammetry deliverables for engineering and mining.

Artillery correction

Stabilised optics with rangefinder for observed fire and damage assessment.

Search & rescue

Thermal search over forest, water and rubble, launched from the roadside.
