Company profile

Product descripton: Sapphire VTOL by SpektreWorks

Experience Driven Design

Sapphire’s design embodies years of industry expertise grappling with alternative aircraft solutions, transforming past challenges into a present solution.

Crafted in the USA, each Sapphire is built with proprietary in-house components and those from trusted NDAA-compliant suppliers.

Rapid Deployment

Sapphire was engineered to meet SOF demands, fitting 96 hours of ISR onto a single 463L cargo pallet. With the smallest loadout of any group 3 platform, it sets a new standard for portability and performance.

A Simplified field setup with tool-less assembly and diverse fuel compatibility ensure continuous operations.

Hybrid Propulsion

Discover Sapphire’s hybrid propulsion for optimizing performance. Enjoy 12 hour flight times, precise EFI control, remote start, in-flight battery charging, and silent mufflers.

Meticulously tuned VTOL propulsion offers industry-leading transitions, flexible takeoff and landing capabilities, and a proven quadplane design with separate propulsion for optimized performance and failsafes.

Navigate with Confidence

With streamlined mission planning, enhanced safety features, and an intuitive interface, Swift GCS software is the preferred choice for UAS control. Say goodbye to clunky alternatives and navigate with confidence using Swift GCS.

Plug and Play

An IP-centric payload architecture facilitates payload integration effortlessly with switchable power and ethernet connections. Enjoy straightforward plug-and-play functionality and instant network connectivity.

Payload Capabilites

Heavy Lift

Carry the most advanced sensors, now and in the future, with a true 20 lb (9 kg) payload capacity.

Mounting Options

Maximize versatility with three dedicated bays, MOD payload mounts, and drop-in module compatibility for integration of existing or custom payloads.

Re-Configure

Easily swap sensors or reconfigure the aircraft entirely with interchangable payload fairings.
