Atmos launched VTOL fixed-wing surveying drone

Atmos of the Netherlands launched an improved automatic vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing UAV Marlyn for surveying drone . The main improvements of the platform are as follows:

1) Realize the simplified design of UAV UAV adopts fast interchangeable load module, smart battery module with LED charging indicator, dynamic post-processing differential technology (PPK)/automatic flight control data USB-C interface output module. In particular, the improved automatic flight control system of the Marlyn platform has effectively enhanced the controllability of the UAV under severe weather conditions such as strong winds.

2) Low-cost and high-performance improvement The SONY A7C image sensor load has been added to the Marlyn platform. The 24.4MP full-frame sensor can achieve 1.7cm ground sampling distance resolution imaging, which significantly improves the performance of the modified Marlyn platform, but its cost is only half of the original 42MP RX1RII module.

3) New flight planning software upgrade Atmos has improved the Marlyn flight planning software. The supporting Navigator software can set the parameters of each sensor/application program of Marlyn as required, and has functions such as wind calculation/area planning, which can assist users in selecting suitable airborne sensor components.

The price of the new Marlyn platform package starts at 16,950 Euros.

FlyDragon FDG-25 VTOL fixed-wing mapping&surveying drone

Flydragon FDG-25 vtol fixed wing mapping drone, wingspan 2.5 meters,it iss electric version . This model combines the characteristics of long-endurance, high-speed and long-distance of fixed-wing UAVs and the vertical take-off and landing of rotor-wing drones.
