Hybrid VTOL Fixed Wing UAV for Autonomous Mapping, Surveillance, Inspection and VTOL Cargo Applications
DeltaQuad is a leading developer of Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for commercial and professional applications.
The UAVs are constructed from high-quality components, including aerospace-grade wiring and military-grade connectors, and are rigorously tested under extreme conditions.
The DeltaQuad Pro series of fully electric UAVs is designed for high stability in both quadcopter and fixed wing mode, transitioning smoothly between the two and providing flight times of up to 110 minutes and operational ranges of up to 100 km. The unmanned aircraft feature fully autonomous operation from takeoff to landing, with communications options providing up to 50 km radio range, or potentially unlimited range using VPN secured mobile networks.
Based around the open-source PX4 professional autopilot firmware and Pixhawk flight controller ecosystem, the DeltaQuad platform is highly customizable with constantly tested and updated avionics. With a 1.2kg payload capacity, DeltaQuad Pro can field a wide variety of payloads, including image and video cameras, environmental sampling sensors, and custom integrations.
Each DeltaQuad UAV is supplied with flight simulator software that allows users to test-fly potential missions and get acquainted with the ground control station before flying under real-world conditions. Other software tools provided for the DeltaQuad platform include an online flight log visualization system and a Mission Validator that allows pilots to ensure that a mission plan follows best practices and is safe to fly.

The DeltaQuad Pro #CARGO is an industrial-grade VTOL fixed-wing UAV designed for cargo transport and integration of custom payloads. Featuring a large payload bay directly over the centre of gravity of the aircraft, the rugged aircraft is constructed from EPO plastic foam, giving it high resistance to impact.
The unique payload bay mechanism, allowing the drone to drop cargo with or without parachutes, can be programmed to release as part of an autonomous flight plan, or directly remote controlled via the GCS. The bay can hold packages measuring up to 15 x 10 x 9 cm and weighing up to 1 kg.
