The Luminix Sky Whale heavy-lift electric VTOL drone is specially designed for LiDAR mapping, long-distance cargo delivery, and security surveillance. It features four lift motors and one fixed-wing motor, allowing the drone to take off vertically like a quadcopter. Once airborne, it transitions to horizontal flight as a push-prop fixed-wing aircraft.
Heavy-lift and long-endurance
The Sky Whale VTOL drone can fly for 3.5 hours with a 2kg payload, 2 hours with a 6kg payload, and 90 minutes with a 10kg payload.
Fast deploy
The fixed-wing UAV uses the most advanced quick-detach technology for both the airframe and cable connector, making assembly and disassembly extremely easy. As a result, the Sky Whale VTOL can be set up in just 3 minutes by a single person. Learn more.
Quick-release cargo bay
This design provides you with more flexibility to switch between different payloads, such as a surveillance camera, LiDAR, or medical supplies.
Weatherproof
Thanks to its waterproof design on the fuselage and air speedometer, the Sky Whale VTOL drone is weatherproof and can achieve an IP54 rating. This allows the waterproof VTOL aircraft to perform urgent missions on rainy days, such as search and rescue.
Strong anti-wind capability
Thanks to its powerful lift motor, the Sky Whale electric VTOL can withstand winds of up to 13 m/s, making it an ideal flight platform for coastline patrols and surveillance.
No piloting skills needed
The LAUNCH ground control software used by the Sky Whale VTOL drone is designed for beginners, so even a pilot with no flight experience can easily operate the drone. Click HERE to learn more.
Working day and night
Sky Whale can be easily spotted in the air with its onboard aviation lights, especially at night.
Built-in TOF landing assistance
The landing is smooth and safe with the help of a range detection radar device.
Onboard ADS-B
Equipped with ADS-B, the GPS coordinates of Sky Whale will be displayed on the air traffic control system.
Battery hot swapping
With an extra built-in autopilot battery, the drone’s batteries can be replaced without shutting down the system, which is very useful for completing multiple flights in one session.
Compass calibration-free (differential GPS)
The pilot does not need to calibrate the compass on the Sky Whale VTOL UAV, saving a lot of time during emergency missions. Moreover, the fixed-wing VTOL is no longer affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI) since the compass has been replaced with DGPS, greatly improving flight stability in the air.
Fly by camera (optional)
This surveillance VTOL can track and monitor a stationary or moving target along a routine patrol route as long as the onboard drone zoom camera follows it. Additionally, the target’s coordinates can be copied and shared with the command center. After completing the monitoring, the VTOL drone can return to its original patrol route.
Monitor target movement status on GCS (optional)
The pilot can use the LAUNCH ground control system (GCS) to track the target’s movement status, including real-time updated GPS coordinates, the distance between the target and the drone, and the distance between the target and the HOME position.
Follow Me feature (optional)
Sometimes, a flight platform like a boat or vehicle needs to move after the drone takes off to complete a mission. In this case, the drone must be able to follow the moving flight platform and land after the task is finished. This feature is particularly useful when the VTOL drone is performing surveillance or monitoring missions at sea.
Remote landing and delivery (optional)
One-key takeoff, no need for a skilled operator. It supports multiple landing points, making it ideal for cargo delivery applications.
VTOL Parachute (optional)
The Saver-40VT parachute has been developed to protect this valuable VTOL drone in the event of an unexpected accident in the air.
Unlimited video & data range (optional)
The Sky Whale aircraft is equipped with a 4G / LTE video transmitter for unlimited video and data transmission.
Versatile airborne platform
Thanks to its excellent stability and powerful payload-lifting capability, the Sky Whale VTOL can be used for mapping, search, rescue, and surveillance tasks.
