Fixed-Wing Hybrid Drones for Long-Range Medical Package Delivery & Infrastructure Inspections

Gadfin is a leading developer of state-of-the-art VTOL fixed-wing hybrid drones for long-range delivery and inspection applications. Our advanced UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) technology delivers unparalleled performance at a fraction of the cost of manned aircraft and helicopter operations, while providing the utmost in safety and reliability.

Long-Range Drones for Deliveries & Inspections

Gadfin’s innovative VTOL fixed-wing UAV platforms are powered by a unique combination of cutting-edge technologies:

Folding Wings: our versatile platforms switch seamlessly between VTOL and forward flight modes, combining the manoeuvrability and small operational footprint of multirotors with the efficiency of fixed-wing drones.

Aviation Safety: Gadfin drones are equipped with a variety of critical safety measures, including detect-and-avoid, ADS-B, emergency parachutes, Remote ID, and redundant hardware.

Weather-Resistant: our long-range UAVs are IP65-rated, protecting them against rain, dust and wind.

Automated Ground Station for hydrogen-electric dronesOur advanced Automated Ground Station (AGS) enables fully autonomous delivery operations from a minimal footprint.

Features include:

  • Accurate takeoff and landing
  • Power system management, including automatic battery replacement and hydrogen tank refuelling
  • Automatic package loading and unloading
  • Cellular communications
  • Onboard weather station
  • Can be operated from the deck of a ship or a hospital roof

Spirit-One – Fixed Wing Hybrid Electric Drone

Long-range drone for medical deliveries and powerline inspections
