<p>The DX-3 Vanguard is the most disruptive long-range drone to enter the market, with a specialization in extended flight duration, remote inspections, and motoring. The DX-3 Vanguard features hydrogen fuel cell batteries – capable of 25hrs of flight, LiDAR and Infrared cameras, and is capable of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flight.</p> <p> The Vanguard is designed to perform in challenging conditions and deliver live data processing. It can carry up to 3kg of payload. It has sensors, including high-resolution cameras, and can also be used for LiDAR Imagery for 3D mapping.</p> <p><strong>Features</strong></p> <ul> <li>24-Hour flight time</li> <li>1500km Range</li> <li>Satellite, Radio, and Cellular capabilities providing beyond visual line-of-sight</li> <li>Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Specification</strong></p> <p><strong>Dimensions</strong></p> <ul> <li>Wingspan - 4.0m</li> <li>Length - 2.4m</li> <li>Height (landing gear extended) - 0.685m</li> <li>Height (landing gear retracted) - 0.45m</li> </ul> <p><strong>Weight</strong></p> <ul> <li>w/ max gas - 34kg</li> <li>w/ VTOL batteries + max gas - 41kg</li> <li>w/ VTOL batteries + max. gas + max. payload - 46 kg</li> <li>Airframe and Avionics Only - 27.3kg</li> </ul> <p><strong>Flight Parameters</strong></p> <ul> <li>Cruise speed - 90 to 112 km/h (25 m/s to 28 m/s)</li> <li>Min/Max speed - 60 km/h (stall) to 144 km/h</li> <li>Min/Max AoA - -8 to +8 degrees</li> <li>Wind resistance - 30km/h crosswinds</li> <li>Service Ceiling - 4.0 m</li> <li>Operating Temperature - -15 to +40℉C (-4 to 104℉F)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Propulsion Systems</strong></p> <ul> <li>Forward Flight - gas engine</li> <li>VTOL - 4 x ducted fans + rotated gas engine</li> <li>VTOL Batteries - 2 x 3.7 kg LiPo batteries (ea. 16000mAh) Chargers included, 12 min. fast charge per battery</li> <li>Gasoline fuel - Up to 7kg of automotive-grade gasoline</li> </ul> <p><strong>VTOL Transition Parameters</strong></p> <ul> <li>Total VTOL Hovering Time - 5 minutes</li> <li>Climb to 30m (100ft) - ~15 seconds</li> <li>VTOL Transition - 12 seconds (no wind)</li> <li>Note: - transition is automated</li> </ul> <p><strong>Communications</strong></p> <ul> <li>Radio - 900MHz and 2.4GHz radios, up to 10km Directional antenna and amplifiers may extend to 100km</li> <li>Cellular - 3G & 4G LTE, capable of streaming live payload, telemetry, and control data</li> <li>Satellite - GEO satellite constellation, global coverage Up to 100 kbps for telemetry, control and pilot FPV cams</li> </ul> <p>Source - https://theskyguys.ca/drone-technology/dx-3-vanguard/</p>
<p>The LX-1 “Echelon” is a professional-grade hexacopter equipped with LiDAR sensing payload designed for a wide range of high-resolution 3D mapping and <a href="https://theskyguys.ca/drone-services/aerial-power-line-inspection/">surveying applications</a>. With a total take-off weight of 12kg, the LX-1 can produce stitched 3D maps with 2-3cm accuracy—allowing surveyors to measure topography on a wide scale, and power line operators to inspect their lines and surrounding vegetation. The software system is plug-and-play, so that the pilot can record and process data without the need for advanced remote sensing or GIS expertise. The complete package flies for up to 20 minutes, built with survey-grade dependability and all-round user friendliness in mind.</p> <p><strong>Features</strong></p> <ul> <li>Power Lines & Linear Corridors</li> <li>Forestry & Environmental Management</li> <li>Transportation & Construction</li> <li>Topographic Surveying & Mapping</li> <li>Volumetrics and Aggregates</li> <li>Accurate Data.
