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.
