With a flight duration of up to 25 minutes, the latest version of this rugged platform features a sealed wet gearbox with hardened steel gears and 25mm payload attachment clamps, allowing for diverse applications.
This product is delivered as a bare airframe with motor and ESC, while a complete electronics package with a flight controller is also available for domestic customers.
AF40
Gasoline-powered helicopter UAV with three engine options
The AF40 is a reliable helicopter UAV designed for minimal maintenance. Constructed from a blend of carbon fiber and metal, it strikes an ideal balance between lightweight design and durability for long-term industrial use.
This long-endurance platform features large fuel tanks, enabling the base model to achieve nearly two hours of flight time. Front and rear attachment points facilitate payload distribution tailored to specific mission needs.
The AF40 is shipped as a bare airframe without electronics or wiring, with ready-to-fly electronics packages available upon request. it offers three engine options:
- Two-stroke 80cc
- Four-stroke 125cc with onboard starter/generator
- Four-stroke 125cc with onboard starter/generator and EFI
D2
Coaxial octocopter drone with heavy-lift and redundancy features
The D2 is a coaxial octocopter that matches the 40 lb capacity of the D1-X while offering enhanced safety features through redundancy. Like the D1-X, it includes dual-use top and bottom payload rails, collapsible arms and landing gear, and optimally centered battery placement.
Most of our high-quality electronic components are standard off-the-shelf items, allowing users to perform some repairs independently, thus avoiding the need to return the aircraft to Copterworks.
