Galaxy Unmanned Helicopter
Product descripton: Galaxy Unmanned Helicopter by Evolution Flight (Innoflight Technology)
The worlds first single rotor unmanned aircraft to use a direct drive electric tail system.
The Galaxy is a heavy lift all-electric single rotor platform that is extremely efficient in higher winds and excels in corridor mapping. The development of the Galaxy put Innoflight International on the map in a big way being the first single rotor UAS to use a direct drive electric tail system in the world earning critical acclaim and revolutionising the UAS sector forever.
Many years and iterations later it still remains a standout product for high reliability, long endurance and fast in field deployment and is still regarded as one of the best single rotor systems in the world by surveying professionals.
Using InnoFlight’s world leading Jupiter autopilot the Galaxy is extremely stable and reliable, something that is not easily achieved for single rotor aircraft. InnoFlight’s leading proprietary autopilot system has been integrated with many helicopter platforms worldwide including full size helicopters for surveying and cargo delivery.
A number of additional options can be integrated into The Galaxy ranging from ADS-B and parachute through to longer range communications.
Designed for purpose
Designed for surveying, our design team thought of everything for the Galaxy. Assembly, disassembly and transport is a quick one tool process. The Galaxy can be left assembled or packed down to a compact size of 1400x350x500 (LWH:mm) within minutes.
Every Galaxy goes through a full system and flight check process before being delivered. Each system is customized to your needs and payload requirements to provide the best endurance and overall stability.
Operated via our long range 3-axis joystick configured Ground Control Station or a more conventional style RC 2.4ghz system the Galaxy is a very simple to control platform thanks to our Jupiter-H series autopilot system. Autonomous take offs, way point missions and landings are simple to execute with just a flick of a switch.
Compatible with MAVlink mission planning software, setting up and collecting data is a very fast process saving labor and in-field time. An event log is stored on the autopilot for PPK photogrammetry downloadable via our autopilot software. The log will store, GPS time stamp, height MSL, height AGL and IMU data. The Galaxy is designed BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line Of Sight) missions and use.
We have protocols in place to meet strict FAA requirements to ensure that the Galaxy is operated safely and in compliance with regulations.
