WindRider Sky Whale Heavy-Lift Electric VTOL UAV Featuring Long Endurance

The WindRider Sky Whale is a next-generation heavy-lift electric VTOL (eVTOL) drone engineered for demanding applications such as LiDAR mapping, long-range cargo delivery, and aerial security surveillance. Its advanced hybrid design integrates four vertical lift motors for stable quadcopter-style takeoffs and landings, along with a dedicated fixed-wing push motor for efficient horizontal flight.

Heavy-lift and long-endurance
The Sky Whale VTOL drone offers a flight endurance of up to 3.5 hours when carrying a 2 kg payload, 2 hours with a 6 kg payload, and 90 minutes with a 10 kg payload.

Fast deploy
The fixed-wing UAV incorporates cutting-edge quick-release mechanisms for both the airframe and cable connectors, allowing for fast and effortless assembly and disassembly. As a result, a single operator can fully set up the Sky Whale VTOL in just 3 minutes.

Quick-release cargo bay
This design gives you greater flexibility to interchange various payloads, including surveillance cameras, LiDAR systems, or medical supplies.

Weatherproof
The Sky Whale VTOL drone features a waterproof fuselage and airspeed sensor, enabling it to achieve an IP54 weatherproof rating. This allows it to operate reliably in rainy conditions for critical missions such as search and rescue.

Strong anti-wind capability
Equipped with a high-performance lift motor, the Sky Whale electric VTOL can endure wind speeds of up to 13 m/s, making it well-suited for coastal patrol and surveillance missions.

No piloting skills needed
The Sky Whale VTOL uses LAUNCH ground control software, which is beginner-friendly—allowing even those without prior flight experience to operate the drone with ease. Click HERE to learn more.

Working day and night
With integrated aviation lighting, the Sky Whale remains clearly visible in the sky, even during nighttime operations.

Built-in TOF landing assistance
A range detection radar ensures smooth and safe landings for the Sky Whale.

Onboard ADS-B
Equipped with ADS-B, the Sky Whale’s GPS coordinates are transmitted and displayed on air traffic control systems.

Battery hot swapping
The drone features an additional built-in autopilot battery, allowing battery swaps without powering down the system—ideal for conducting multiple flights in a single session.

Compass calibration-free (differential GPS)
The Sky Whale VTOL UAV eliminates the need for compass calibration, saving valuable time during emergency missions. Additionally, by replacing the compass with DGPS, the fixed-wing VTOL is immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), significantly enhancing flight stability.

Fly by camera (optional)
This surveillance VTOL can track and monitor both stationary and moving targets along a predefined patrol route by using its onboard zoom camera. The target’s coordinates can be captured and transmitted to the command center. Once monitoring is complete, the drone automatically resumes its original patrol path.

 Monitor target movement status on GCS (optional)
Using the LAUNCH ground control system (GCS), the pilot can monitor the target’s movement status in real time, including updated GPS coordinates, the distance between the drone and the target, and the distance from the target to the HOME position.

Follow Me feature (optional)
In certain missions, the flight platform—such as a boat or vehicle—may move after drone takeoff. The drone must be capable of following the moving platform and landing once the mission is complete. This functionality is especially valuable for VTOL drones conducting maritime surveillance or monitoring.

Remote landing and delivery (optional)
One-key takeoff requires no expert operator. The drone supports multiple landing locations, making it perfect for cargo delivery missions.

VTOL Parachute (optional)
The Saver-40VT parachute is designed to safeguard this valuable VTOL drone in case of an unexpected mid-air emergency.

Unlimited video & data range (optional)
The Sky Whale aircraft comes with a 4G/LTE video transmitter, enabling unlimited video and data transmission.

Versatile airborne platform
Thanks to its superior stability and strong payload capacity, the Sky Whale VTOL is suitable for mapping, search and rescue, and surveillance missions.
