The Vertical Technologies DeltaQuad series of autonomous VTOL UAVs is driven by PX4. This hybrid vertical takeoff fixed wing vehicle can stream telemetry and video over the cellular network using VPN. It has a 1 Kg payload capacity for a 100Km range, or a 2 hour 45 minute flight time and 150 Km range with an auxiliary battery option.
It requires no pre-flight calibrations and the Pro model comes equipped with an onboard computer that almost completely replaces the operator. The included DeltaQuad simulator makes it easy to get familiar with the controls and allows test flying missions before they are executed.
