About

About DeltaQuad Evo

DeltaQuad Evo is a fixed-wing vertical-takeoff-and-landing UAV designed for long-range autonomous missions without a runway. The aircraft has a 2.69-metre wingspan, a 10-kilogram maximum takeoff weight and up to three kilograms of payload capacity. DeltaQuad gives the platform a maximum range of 270 kilometres and flight time of roughly four and a half hours.

Two swappable payload positions can carry separate sensors or a single dual-slot package. Tactical, Enterprise, Government and Stealth configurations adapt communications and payloads for mapping, inspection, public safety, intelligence and cargo missions. The aircraft transitions from vertical lift to efficient fixed-wing cruise after launch, combining field deployment in about five minutes with long-distance coverage.
