by HEQ

Engineered for professional aerial mapping and surveying, this innovative VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) platform breaks free from traditional fixed-wing constraints by eliminating the need for runways. Its groundbreaking rudderless control technology delivers a minimalist piloting experience while maintaining precise flight characteristics essential for mapping operations.

Equipped with a high-precision PPK module achieving 2cm+1ppm horizontal accuracy and 4cm+1ppm vertical accuracy, this mapping solution can cover up to 9 square kilometers in a single 60-minute flight at maximum altitude. The integrated 24.3MP APS-frame camera system ensures exceptional image quality for photogrammetry applications.
