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. 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 features the 1-tap take-off and landing capability and point-and-click user interface. 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.
All Dragonfish UAVs are built from carbon-fiber and fiber-glass composite, providing IP43 wind and weather resistance. These aircrafts are designed to be disassembled for space-saving transport, but take three minutes to assemble for work – no tools required. Disassembled, Dragonfish fits in the back of any car or SUV.
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: 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.
