About

About Dragonfish Series

Dragonfish uses a tiltrotor configuration that takes off vertically and transitions into fixed-wing cruise. The aircraft assembles from its transport case in around five minutes, automatically checks the system and can execute waypoint missions and vertical landings without separate launch equipment.

The range supports electro-optical, thermal and mapping payloads, automated tracking and terrain-following workflows. Dragonfish Lite, Standard and Pro provided increasing endurance, while the newer Dragonfish-25 extends the architecture to payloads of up to 10 kilograms.
