• Quick assembly and disassembly without tools.
• Wind resistance class 5 (8.5–11 m/s) for difficult conditions.
• Compact transport case 108×35×48 cm for transportation.
• Service ceiling 4000 meters for high altitude missions.

How the Striver Mini 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 Striver Mini model is built from composite materials. The wingspan is 2100 millimeters. The fuselage length is 1200 mm. The fuselage height reaches 156 mm (without supports). The wing area is 59 square decimeters. Stall speed of only 10 m/s for safe landings.

Cruising speed is 18–21 m/s (65–76 km/h). The maximum take-off weight is limited to 7.5 kg. The maximum payload is 1 kg. The service ceiling is 4000 meters. The cargo compartment has dimensions of 180x150x110 mm. The transport case has dimensions of 1.08×0.35×0.48 meters.

The drone is equipped with removable wings without tools. Internal compartments protect electronics from dust and moisture. The aircraft is compatible with Pixhawk and Cube autopilots. You can install thermal imagers, multispectral cameras or lidars. The drone is ideal for mapping cities, farmland and power lines. Thanks to VTOL technology, you work in mountainous areas without prepared sites. The compact transport case fits easily into the trunk of a car.
