The D2 is a coaxial octocopter platform that offers a generous 40 lb payload capacity while providing redundant motor capabilities for safety-critical missions. Featuring simultaneously usable top and bottom payload rails for maximum versatility, the unique airframe is designed to carry its batteries internally and perfectly centered to all three axes, ensuring optimal flight dynamics and performance. This arrangement also allows the aircraft to be quickly stowed inside its carrying case without needing to remove the batteries.

Both arms and landing gear are foldable for maximum portability, and the latter can be optionally removed to allow use of Copterworks’ range of quick-disconnect payload accessories, which are currently under development. All onboard electronics are housed within three sealed compartments, providing reliable protection against moisture, dust, and challenging weather.

Virtually all of our high-quality electronic components are off-the-shelf items, allowing the DIY option for some repairs by end users, and eliminating the need to send the aircraft back to Copterworks. The complete D2 package includes a Pixhawk Cube flight controller and Herelink GCS as standard, with the following options available upon request:

• Flight Controllers – Pixhawk Blue Cube or Auterion Skynode
• Handheld Transmitter/Receiver: Herelink Blue or Skydroid H16 Pro

The system can also be optionally equipped with an RFD900 radio modem for 900Mhz long-range telemetry.
