7 Hour Endurance Hybrid VTOL UAV Released for Surveying

Designed specifically for aerial surveying and surveillance applications, the waterproof platform is designed to meet complex weather and flight conditions, and for unobstructed aerodynamic flight, the main antenna is integrated with the landing gear to reduce drag.

Combining the VTOL advantages of a multirotor, with the extended range of fixed-wing UAV, the FDG50F is a flexible solution to endurance unmanned flight, capable of adapting to various complex take-off and landing conditions.

The aerodynamic modular design can be disassembled without tools, and reassembled in just 3 minutes.
