FY-VT04 Long-Endurance VTOL Drone

VTOL fixed-wing drone — 4+1 power layout for runway-free take-off, aerospace composite airframe, 3kg payload and 240-minute endurance

FY-VT04 Long-Endurance VTOL Drone

The FY-VT04 is a VTOL fixed-wing UAV built on an aerospace composite airframe that balances structural strength with low weight. It pairs the vertical take-off and landing capability of a multirotor with the endurance of a fixed wing: a 4+1 power layout lifts it off in confined or unprepared sites without a runway, after which it cruises efficiently in fixed-wing mode. It performs terrain mapping, border patrol, power line inspection, search and data collection. Stable in the air with high positioning accuracy, it uses a quick-release design for easy transport and fast field deployment, is rain-resistant, and withstands 6-level winds and -20℃ to 50℃, with a 4800m service ceiling. The fuselage leaves generous internal space for a maximum payload of 3kg, with a range of camera and gimbal options.

  1. Vertical Take-Off, No Runway

    A 4+1 power layout lifts off vertically in confined sites, then cruises efficiently in fixed-wing mode.

  2. Up to 240 Minutes Endurance

    Up to 240 minutes unloaded, around 120 minutes with a 1.5kg payload.

  3. 3kg Maximum Payload

    Generous internal space carries up to 3kg of cameras and gimbals.

  4. 6-Level Wind, 4800m Ceiling

    Aerospace composite airframe rated for 6-level winds, -20℃ to 50℃ and a 4800m ceiling.

Product Features

Vertical Take-Off, Any Terrain

Vertical Take-Off, Any Terrain

A 4+1 power matrix removes the runway: the aircraft lifts off vertically in confined or unprepared sites, then transitions to efficient fixed-wing cruise — combining multirotor agility with fixed-wing range.

Aerospace Airframe for Harsh Conditions

Aerospace Airframe for Harsh Conditions

The airframe uses carbon fibre, glass fibre and Kevlar composites — light, strong and impact-resistant. It withstands 6-level winds, temperatures from -20℃ to 50℃ and operates up to 4800m, with a rain-resistant fuselage.

Modular Quick-Release, 5-Minute Setup

Modular Quick-Release, 5-Minute Setup

A modular airframe lets the fuselage and wings separate quickly, and the parts pack into a dedicated flight case (1470×560×400mm) for transport. On site it assembles in three steps with no calibration and is airborne within five minutes.

Autonomous Flight, Precise Results

Autonomous Flight, Precise Results

Routes are generated automatically from the required output, with fixed-point, fixed-interval capture that removes manual planning, cuts omissions and lowers the skill barrier. Point-to-fly lets the aircraft race to a target in fixed-wing mode, then loiter and lock on — adapting to changing mission needs.

Long Endurance, Generous Payload Space

The internal bay leaves generous space: 3kg maximum payload, 1.5kg standard, up to 240 minutes endurance (about 120 minutes with 1.5kg on board). Options include orthophoto cameras, five-lens oblique cameras, gas-detection pods, 30x visible-light gimbals and dual/triple-sensor thermal gimbals, with OEM/ODM customisation available.
