WindRider Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL Drone for Heavy Payloads
The WindRider Sky Whale Max Electric is a fully electric heavy-lift VTOL drone engineered for LiDAR mapping, long-range cargo delivery, transportation, and security surveillance. It is equipped with four lift motors and two fixed-wing motors, enabling vertical takeoff like a quadcopter. Upon reaching a set altitude, the drone transitions to horizontal flight using its push-prop fixed-wing design.

The WindRider Sky Whale Max Electric is a fully electric heavy-lift VTOL drone engineered for LiDAR mapping, long-distance cargo delivery, transportation, and security surveillance. Equipped with four lift motors and two fixed-wing motors, it takes off vertically like a quadcopter and transitions to horizontal flight as a push-prop fixed-wing aircraft at altitude.
Heavy-lift and long-endurance
The Sky Whale Max electric VTOL drone offers a flight endurance of 4 hours when carrying a 2kg payload and 2 hours with a 15kg payload.
Separate camera bin
The Sky Whale Max electric UAV features a dedicated compartment for mounting a gimbal camera, enabling target search with the onboard camera even while carrying heavy payloads.
Weatherproof
Thanks to its waterproof fuselage design, the Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL drone boasts an IP55 weather-resistant rating. This enables the drone to carry out urgent missions like search and rescue even in rainy conditions.
Fast deploy
The fixed-wing UAV incorporates advanced quick-detach technology for both the airframe and cable connectors, greatly simplifying assembly and disassembly.
No piloting skills needed
The LAUNCH ground control software for the Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL drone is user-friendly and designed for beginners, enabling even novice pilots to operate the drone with ease.
Working day and night
The Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL drone features onboard aviation lights that enhance its visibility in the air, particularly during nighttime operations.
Built-in TOF landing assistance
Landing is smooth and secure thanks to the integrated range detection radar system.
Compass calibration-free (differential GPS)
Pilots do not need to calibrate the compass on the Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL UAV, saving valuable time during emergency missions. Additionally, the replacement of the compass with DGPS eliminates susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI), significantly improving flight stability.
Fly by camera (optional)
This surveillance VTOL drone uses its onboard zoom camera to track and monitor stationary or moving targets along a preset patrol route. The target’s coordinates can be copied and transmitted to the command center. After completing the mission, the drone automatically returns to its original patrol path.
Monitor target movement status on GCS (optional)
Using the LAUNCH GCS, the pilot can monitor the target’s movement, including real-time GPS coordinates, the distance between the target and the drone, and the distance from the target to the HOME position.
Follow Me feature (optional)
Sometimes, the flight platform—such as a boat or vehicle—must relocate after the drone takes off to complete its mission. In these situations, the drone can follow the moving platform and safely land once the mission is finished. This capability is particularly valuable for VTOL drones conducting surveillance or monitoring operations at sea.
