 Getting to know the aircraft

The Drgonfish Standard aircraft integrates Autel Robotics’ intelligent and superior flight control technology, gimbal technology, and imaging technology. The aircraft boasts a new tilt rotor design that combines the efficiency of fixed-wing aircraft endurance with the takeoff convenience of traditional multi-rotor drones. A 5 second self-check system ensures the aircraft is safe and ready for operation. It can be assembled quickly, enabling set up and take-off in a matter of minutes. The Drgonfish Standard offers a maximum flight time of up to 120 minutes and a video transmission range of 30 km. It comes built in with a range of intelligent features such as automatic take-off and landing, intelligent tracking, terrain follow, and more.
Tough and reliable, the Drgonfish Standard has an IP43 protection rating to enable operations across a variety of terrains. It also features a modular payload mount with an integrated quick release function that enables operators to mount a dual sensor, a triple sensor, or a multispectral payload effortlessly to suit mission needs. Alongside the aircraft is a GNSS Base Station and the integrated, Dual RTK modules that equip the aircraft with additional redundancy. This allows the Drgonfish Standard to fly confidently in complex environments while capturing precise, centimeter-accurate data.

Getting to know the portable ground station

The Drgonfish Standard is equipped with a 9.7-inch TFT-LCD touch screen (2048*1536). It offers a brightness of 1000 cd/m2, making it almost twice as bright as typical mobile devices. The screen can display images clearly even in direct sunlight, and a built-in 256G memory makes it convenient for storing all your critical data. With an image transmission range of 30km[1] and a battery life of 4.5 hours, the ground station guarantees optimal performance and reliability.

Getting to know the base station

The Dragonfish base station is a high-precision satellite signal receiver that supports GPS, Beidou, Galileo, and GLONASS navigation systems. It can be used across a variety of applications and environments. The Dragonfish base station and the integrated Dual RTK modules equip the aircraft with additional redundancy and positioning accuracy to provide precise, centimeter accurate data. It also enables the Drgonfish Standard to withstand signal interference in strong magnetic environments such as power lines and near buildings.

3. Charging the base station

Setting up the base station

1. Unfold the tripod, install the base station tray, and lock the tray.

2. Install the base station body to the tray and tighten the lock on the tray nut. Ensure that the base station is level and stable.

3. Install the antenna on the tripod and connect the antenna feeder to the base station antenna port.

Assembling the aircraft

1. Install the left and right wings

2. Install the tail

3. Install the wingtip propeller
   Before installing or removing the propeller, power off the aircraft (as shown in the illustration).
   Locking direction: Press and Rotate in the indicated direction to lock the propeller.
   Unlocking direction: Press and Rotate the propeller in the opposite direction to unlock it.
   The marked propeller is to be mounted on the marked motor
   Unmarked propeller is to be mounted on the unmarked motor

4. Mounting
   Align the red dots on the mount with the red dots of the gimbal interface of the fuselage, and rotate the lock ring to the locked position.

5. Unlock mount
   

6. Installing the Intelligent Flight Battery
   When installing or removing the aircraft battery, be sure to power off the aircraft.

• Align the battery to the battery interface on the fuselage and install it.
