About AD Heliplane

AD Heliplane is Aquiline Drones’ long-endurance VTOL aircraft for wide-area commercial and industrial missions. Vertical takeoff and landing removes the need for a runway, while fixed-wing cruise improves efficiency after transition and supports longer routes than a conventional multirotor.

The US-made platform connects to Aquiline’s cloud operating environment and accepts mission sensors for remote inspection and survey. Heliplane is the fixed-wing-efficiency member of the range, complementing the Kobra and Endure multirotors and LineDrone’s live-power-line contact architecture. Its flight configuration and performance are specific to the Heliplane airframe.
