About

About SkyLane

SkyLane is a hybrid fixed-wing VTOL aircraft designed around vertical launch and recovery followed by fuel-efficient wing-borne cruise. The platform integrates Sky-Drones avionics, communications and flight-control software and can carry logistics, surveillance or mapping payloads across routes that lack runway infrastructure.

SkyLane-650H carries a maximum payload of 15 kilograms and has endurance up to 12 hours. Wind limits are stated separately for forward flight and vertical operation, reflecting the different aerodynamic conditions during cruise and landing. The aircraft is supplied as a configurable UAS for BVLOS logistics and ISR programmes.
