DZ-20 is hybrid UAV between fixed wing airplane and multi-copter, able to take off and land vertically like a multi-copter and transition to efficient and fast forward flight like fixed wing UAV. DZ-20 combines the advantages from fixed wing, such as high speed, long endurance and long flight distance and VTOL features from multi-copters.
Vertical lift motors and rotors are mounted to each wing to provide vertical lift for takeoff and landing. Vertical lift motors are shut off for winged flight and propellers are feathered longitudinally for minimum drag.
DZ-20 require no special launch equipment and do not require runways for launch or landing. Transition to winged flight and VTOL are fully autonomous controlled through JOUAV patent autopilot system. DZ-20 is widely applied for aerial mapping, aerial surveying, aerial surveillance and inspection under extreme terrain, such as between mountain areas, hills, forestry and buildings.
DZ-20 would be ideal choice for professional and industrial aerial UAS services.
