DeltaQuad VTOL UAV
Product descripton: DeltaQuad VTOL UAV by DeltaQuad
The DeltaQuad Pro is a fully electric VTOL fixed-wing UAV engineered to bridge the gap between multirotor flexibility and long-range fixed-wing efficiency. Designed as a professional-grade autonomous platform, it delivers exceptional flight stability, extended endurance, and operational versatility across complex mission profiles.
By combining vertical takeoff and landing with efficient forward flight, DeltaQuad Pro removes the traditional constraints of runways while retaining the range and endurance required for large-area operations.
Flight Architecture and Autonomy
At the core of the DeltaQuad Pro is a dual-mode flight architecture that seamlessly transitions between quadcopter and fixed-wing operation. Vertical takeoff, precision hovering, and vertical landing are followed by smooth conversion to wing-borne cruise flight, optimized for energy efficiency and range.
The aircraft supports fully autonomous missions from takeoff to landing, allowing operators to focus on mission objectives rather than manual flight control. Long-distance operations are enabled through flexible communications, including conventional radio links and mobile-network-based connectivity secured via VPN for extended or near-unlimited operational reach.
Avionics and Software Ecosystem
DeltaQuad Pro is built on the PX4 professional autopilot framework and the Pixhawk flight controller ecosystem, providing a robust, open, and continuously evolving avionics foundation. This architecture allows for deep customization, rapid integration of new sensors, and frequent firmware improvements validated through ongoing testing.
To support professional operators, the platform includes an integrated software suite:
-
A flight simulator for mission rehearsal and operator training
-
A mission validation tool to ensure safety, compliance, and best-practice flight planning
-
An online flight log visualization system for post-mission analysis and performance review
Together, these tools reduce operational risk and shorten the learning curve for complex missions.
Payload Flexibility and Mission Adaptability
With a 1.2 kg payload capacity and a modular payload bay, the DeltaQuad Pro supports a wide range of sensors and mission equipment. Typical payloads include high-resolution imaging systems, thermal and multispectral cameras, environmental sampling instruments, and custom customer-specific integrations.
This adaptability allows a single airframe to be configured for multiple roles without structural modification.
Mission-Specific Configurations
MAP configuration
Optimized for mapping, surveying, and inspection missions, this variant supports RGB, multispectral, and thermal imaging payloads, enabling large-area coverage with high-resolution data capture and live video feedback.
VIEW configuration
Designed for surveillance and reconnaissance, the VIEW variant emphasizes real-time situational awareness through stabilized gimbals, high zoom capability, thermal sensing, and autonomous object-following functions.
CARGO configuration
Focused on transport and experimental integrations, the CARGO variant dedicates the full payload capacity to logistics, payload release mechanisms, or custom sensor packages, while maintaining extended endurance and live FPV visibility.
