Choose the Makeflyeasy Hero 2180mm high-altitude VTOL drone for difficult weather conditions

Makeflyeasy is a Chinese manufacturer of professional aircraft-type UAVs and VTOLs. The company produces the Fighter 2430mm, Believer 1960mm and Striver Mini models. The range includes powerful 3520-500KV motors and highly efficient APC propellers. Makeflyeasy also produces flight controllers for ArduPilot and ground stations. The products are intended for geodesy, cartography and search missions. The brand is known for its innovations in the field of vertical takeoff and landing.

• Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technology without runway.
• Service ceiling 6500 meters for extreme altitudes.
• Wind resistance class 5 (8.5–11 m/s) for harsh conditions.
• Quick disassembly without tools for transportation.
• Maximum bank angle 30° for maneuverable flights.

How the Hero 2180mm VTOL drone works

Four vertical motors lift the drone like a copter. The device freezes and gains altitude. Then the horizontal motor accelerates the plane. Wings create lift for long-distance flight. The autopilot guides the drone along a given route. Cameras and sensors collect data from the air. After the mission, the device switches to copter mode for landing.

Technical characteristics and functionality

The Hero 2180mm is built from composite materials. The wingspan is 2180 millimeters. The fuselage length is 1140 mm. The fuselage height reaches 255 mm (including tripod). The vertical axis (with motor) is 755 mm. The wing area is 53 square decimeters. The wing installation angle is 2.9 degrees. V-tail angle: 28° up, 20° down.

Stall speed of only 12 m/s for safe landing. Cruising speed is 17–22 m/s (61–79 km/h). Maximum climb angle is 3.5 degrees. The maximum dive angle is 5 degrees. Aileron rotation angle: up 22°, down 28°. The maximum roll angle reaches 30 degrees.

The drone's take-off weight is less than 7 kg. Payload is limited to 1 kg. Take-off altitude (operating) up to 3000 meters. The practical ceiling reaches 6500 meters. Wind resistance corresponds to class 5. Operating temperature range from -10°C to +50°C. Packing box size 1100×350×430 mm. The drone can be assembled and disassembled without tools.

VTOL technology allows you to work in mountainous areas. The high ceiling of 6500 m is suitable for shooting in the Andes or Tibet. Wind resistance class 5 copes with strong gusts. The drone is compatible with Pixhawk and Cube autopilots. You install thermal imagers, multispectral cameras or lidars. The Hero 2180mm is designed for the most demanding professional missions.
