SKYLANE 480H
Product descripton: SKYLANE 480H by Sky-Drones
The SkyLane 480H is a hybrid VTOL fixed-wing UAV designed for long-endurance ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and mapping operations. Combining electric propulsion with a petrol-powered pusher engine, the aircraft delivers significantly extended endurance while reducing downtime through rapid refueling.
Powered by the AIRLink autonomous flight ecosystem, the SkyLane 480H supports AI-assisted mission execution, onboard mission computing, cloud mission planning, SATCOM and 4G/5G connectivity, real-time telemetry, and advanced sensor integration, making it suitable for persistent intelligence, environmental monitoring, and large-area surveying.
