FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Autel
Robotics Tilt-rotor Dragonfish Lite and Pro UAVs Now Available in the US
Dragonfish
Pro extends continuous flight time to three hours
Washington, United
States, March 29, 2022
- The Autel Robotics Dragonfish Lite and Pro UAVs are now available in
the US, joining the standard Autel Dragonfish and providing more price
options and mission choices for UAV pilots. The Dragonfish series are
tough aircraft, capable of both VTOL multi-rotor and fast winged flight
with an endurance of up to 180 minutes, making them ideal for
professional applications in fields such as energy, mining, defense,
and surveillance. Maximum winged flight speed is 30m/s (108km/h,
67mph), and maximum video transmission range is 30km (18.6 miles) with
a base station.
The
Dragonfish series
The Dragonfish series is built with safety and ease of use in mind. The
1-tap take-off and landing capability, easy point-and-click user
interface, and other smart autonomous features make them simple for
anyone to operate. The aircraft can make a smart decision to either
land or return to base in case of issues such as loss of GPS signal,
loss of operator communications, or low battery power. The Dragonfish
tilt-rotor system will automatically transition to multi-rotor mode if
adverse conditions cause fixed winged flight to stall or become
unsustainable. The Dragonfish battery, barometer, positioning system,
compass, and IMU all have backup modules to ensure flight safety.
Dragonfish UAVs can carry a variety of payloads – including standard
high-resolution cameras, 50x optical zoom cameras, 12 megapixel
wide-angle cameras, 1280x1024 high-resolution infra-red cameras, and
laser rangefinders – for various imaging, surveillance and mapping
tasks.
All Dragonfish UAVs are built from tough carbon-fiber and fiber-glass
composite, providing excellent IP43 wind and weather resistance.
Despite the strong construction, these aircrafts are designed to be
easily disassembled for space-saving transport, but only take three
minutes to assemble for work – no tools required. Disassembled,
Dragonfish fits in the back of any car or SUV.
Dragonfish
Pro for long-endurance heavy-duty jobs
The larger Dragonfish Pro provides the longest flight time of the
series, 180 minutes with payload, and has a 6000m (19,685 ft) flight
ceiling, making it perfect for applications like discreet
long-endurance surveillance and wide-area mapping. The maximum payload
capacity is 2.5kg.
Dragonfish
Lite: The compact, lightweight choice
Compact and lightweight at only 4.5kg (including two batteries) with a
1600mm wingspan, the Dragonfish Lite can carry a 1kg payload up to its
service ceiling of 4000m, and has 75 minutes’ flight endurance.
