Tell us the result you need to deliver; our engineers will match the aircraft and payload.

RGB aerial mapping

High-resolution aerial imagery and 3D surfaces for survey, planning and engineering.Recommended: Vertix VL260 · Xtrix VL390

LiDAR 3D scanning

Canopy penetration: point clouds, tree height and DBH, powerline inspection, volumes and elevation profiles.Recommended: Voxel MX · Vilverin VL340

Thermal & hotspot inspection

Find wildfire hotspots and fire lines, industrial heat leaks, and abnormal hotspots on solar farms and powerlines.Recommended: Vilverin VL340

ISR & surveillance

Watch restricted areas, patrol borders and pipelines, and protect conservation areas, with live EO/IR video into UXV C2 and AI object detection inside a defined region of interest.Recommended: Xtrix VL390 · Voxel GS

Defense operations

Border security, convoy overwatch, search and rescue and low-profile monitoring, with encrypted links and GNSS-denied navigation.Recommended: Voxel GS · Xtrix VL390

Why eVTOL: coverage per day

Figures from ICS operation and mapping-for-service work. Change flight height and overlap to see how GSD and area per day change for each aircraft.

For comparing settings only. Real flights vary with weather and battery condition. Flights per day count only the hours with light suitable for mapping and already include time for imagery and GNSS data checks.

100 km²: Xtrix VL390 takes about 2 days · a multirotor about 10 days

Figures from ICS mapping-for-service flights · changing height or side overlap scales area per flight with line spacing · days rounded to whole days · from 400 m up, flight time is cut by 5% (thinner air, longer climb) · an estimate: real results depend on site shape, wind, terrain and launch-site moves.

A 100 km² survey

Done in 3 days, not 10

  • Fewer launch-site moves (each takes 30-60 minutes)
  • Fewer battery swaps and faster pre-flight checks
  • About 2× higher cruise speed (23 vs 12 m/s), continuous coverage
  • Vertix VL260~3 days
  • Enterprise multirotor*~10 days

What you get back from a flight

  1. 01

    Fly

    VL260 flies 5 sorties a day, about 6.5 km² each, taking off vertically from a small clearing.

  2. 02

    3D point cloud

    Every point on the site becomes a 3D coordinate: trees, roads and the waterline.

  3. 03

    Ground under the canopy

    Strip the trees to the bare ground, showing tracks and gullies a photo cannot see.

  4. 04

    Contours

    Ready for design, cut-and-fill volumes and drainage layout.

* Compared with an enterprise-grade multirotor, which flies longer and faster than a standard drone. A standard drone takes longer still.
