Are you looking for a drone with long flight times but don’t always have big areas for launching and landing? We have the fixed-wing VTOL drone you need! Based on the super-efficient SP9, the SP9-VTOL adds the ability to launch and land vertically (straight up or down in the air). This is the optimal drone for long range missions and large areas but that have restricted launch / landing zones. When you launch the drone, it lifts straight in the air, like a quadcopter. Once it is airborne, it converts to a traditional plane and gently sips power. When it is time to land, the quadcopter rotors turn back on and it gently descends straight down to the ground, protecting your payload or drone cameras. It’s an awesome drone with high flight times and an impressive quality. This fixed-wing VTOL commercial drone flies between 1-2 hours (based on payload and wind). The SP9-VTOL is battery powered, low-maintenance and super easy to fly.
As a fairly large aircraft, the SP9-VTOL drone can carry different types of drone cameras and sensors. With all of that flight time, you can cover a lot of land! Plus, you’ll have the peace-of-mind knowing you bought a drone that can handle tough environments, and easily adapt to your future needs. Customers might buy this drone for mapping, crop analysis, inspections, surveying, or protection work. The included antennas provide a long range of up to 31mi (50km)! If that isn’t enough, the optional extended range package allows this aircraft to operate up to 37Mi (60km)! Perfect for Pipeline inspections, Search & Rescue, or other Security missions!
