YD-Voyager VTOL

Fixed-wing Survey Platform

Tailsitter VTOL combining 2.5 h endurance with multirotor launch — for long-line corridor mapping, large-area survey and communications relay research.

Wingspan: 2,400 mm
Max payload: 1.5 kg
Endurance: 150 min (cruise)
Cruise speed: 20 m/s

From US$6,890

Overview

The YD-Voyager VTOL removes the runway from fixed-wing survey work: it takes off and lands vertically like a quadcopter, then transitions to wing-borne cruise for 2.5 hours at 20 m/s. One aircraft, one operator, no launch equipment.

The nose bay carries a 1.5 kg mapping payload — typical configurations pair a full-frame survey camera with the onboard YD-Core NX8 running real-time QA of coverage before the aircraft leaves the site.

Typical applications

Corridor and linear infrastructure survey
Large-area 2D/3D mapping
Communications relay experiments
