About

About CW-25E

CW-25E is a battery-electric fixed-wing VTOL aircraft with a 4.35-metre wingspan and maximum take-off weight of approximately 31.6 kilograms. It carries up to 6.6 kilograms and provides 150–210 minutes of endurance as payload mass changes.

Quick-connect structures divide the aircraft into ten transportable sections. Automated launch, transition and landing provide accuracy within approximately 15 centimetres. Payload options include medium-format cameras, lidar, synthetic-aperture radar, electro-optical gimbals and aeromagnetic sensors. JOUAV supplies ground stations and mapping or surveillance software.
