About CW-20E

CW-20E combines vertical launch and recovery with fixed-wing cruise for mapping, inspection, emergency response and security missions. Its airframe folds without tools for transport and accepts interchangeable electro-optical, infrared, mapping, lidar and multispectral payloads. Digital avionics include dual inertial and satellite-navigation units, while forward and downward radar plus binocular vision provide active obstacle sensing during configured flight modes.

JOUAV's technical table lists a 24.9-kilogram maximum take-off weight, five-kilogram payload, 72-kilometre-per-hour cruise speed and 150-minute endurance. The same page separately advertises 180 minutes with a standard two-kilogram surveillance payload; these figures describe different conditions and cannot be combined into one guaranteed configuration. A 100-TOPS onboard module can run vision models in flight. Weather, payload, route, software and regulatory limits determine realised performance.
