Long Range VTOL Drone

Long Range VTOL Drones combine vertical takeoff and landing with efficient fixed-wing cruise, delivering long-endurance flight without requiring a runway. Unlike multirotor platforms that must continuously generate lift with rotors, VTOL fixed-wing UAVs transition to forward flight, reducing power consumption and enabling longer missions with higher payload capacity. In this category, you’ll find long-range VTOL UAV systems designed for surveillance, mapping, and mission-critical operations—supporting advanced payloads such as EO/IR gimbal cameras, night vision sensors, and laser rangefinders (LRF). For maximum endurance, hybrid VTOL drones use electric propulsion for VTOL phases and a fuel engine in cruise mode, allowing multi-hour and extended-range flights with fewer interruptions.
