Sentaero VLOS

Long-endurance and long-range fixed-wing VTOL UAV

The Sentaero VLOS is a fixed-wing hybrid VTOL UAV that combines the manoeuvrability of a quadcopter with the efficiency of winged flight and has been optimized to operate with very tight take-off and landing zones.

The long-range, long-endurance platform is highly versatile and can be equipped for almost any mission. With a range of up to 75 miles, the Sentaero VLOS covers more ground in a single flight, providing greater efficiency and cost savings for agriculture, inspection and monitoring, mapping and surveying, and more.

Available payload configurations include the following:

Applications

Our fixed wing VTOL UAVs are ideal for a wide range of applications, watch this video to learn more:

Precision Agriculture

Equipped with a 5-Band multispectral sensor, our fixed-wing hybrid VTOL drones are ideal for agricultural applications. Able to cover large areas of farmland in a single flight, our UAVs efficiently capture data on crop health, soil condition, and more, providing fast turnaround and facilitating rapid decision-making.

Mapping & Surveying

Long endurance drones can provide significant time and cost savings compared to traditional mapping and surveying methods, reducing required manpower and delivering high-accuracy results. Our drones are ideal for topographic surveys, planimetric mapping and volumetrics.

Infrastructure & Utilities Inspections

Equipped with ultra-high-resolution camera payloads, our UAVs can be used for professional surveying of roads, powerlines, pipelines, solar arrays and a variety of other critical assets.

Search & Rescue and Emergency Response

Our endurance drones can cover wide areas and stay in the air for extended periods of time, providing excellent surveillance capabilities for first responders, natural disaster response teams, law enforcement and search and rescue operators.
