Draganflyer X4-ES & X4-P - Four Blade Copter

 

New Aerial System to Capture Accurate Aerial Imagery

Draganfly Innovations, Canada, has partnered with Pix4D, Switzerland, to combine the value of a Draganflyer sUAS (small Unmanned Aerial System) with the Pix4D software package. This results in a system capable of capturing highly accurate aerial imagery for mapping, surveying and creating 3D models.

 

 
The Draganflyer Solution is a “Pro Solution Pack” from Draganfly Innovations. Included is a Draganflyer Guardian or Draganflyer X4-ES aerial platform with a high resolution 20MP 1″ sensor payload or Tetracam multispectral payload and Pix4Dmapper.

 
The Draganflyer GCS (Ground Control Station)software generates pre-flight grid pattern flight plans which provide automated image overlap optimised for the Pix4Dmapper. The system performs an automated grid search and stays within the confines of the grid to create square corners and eliminate over-flight of bordering property. The resulting images are processed by Pix4Dmapper to create first class results.
 
Lidar Precision

Pix4D converts thousands of aerial images, taken by the Draganflyer platform, into geo-referenced 2D mosaics and surface models and point clouds. This processing solution combines ideas from computer vision with the accuracy of traditional, achieving results with survey-grade accuracy and up to centimetre-grade-like precision. Pix4Dmapper features advanced support of GCPs (Ground Control Points) for optimal geo-location and proposes both a “Full Processing” mode as well as a “Rapid Check” mode that lets you assess the quality of your acquired data while still on site. Output results can be imported seamlessly into any, CAD, or traditional suite.
 
Pix4Dmapper includes the “rayCloud”, an innovative concept that combines the generated by Pix4Dmapper with the original still images for easy viewing. The rayCloud editor lets users assess, edit, interpret, and improve their results directly in the and allows for highly accurate object annotation and project accuracy improvement.


Worlds most Advanced Platform

 

The Draganflyer X4-ES helicopter is a professional quality, powerful, easy to fly aerial platform specifically designed for Public Safety use. The aircraft is reliable because it's constructed using high quality carbon fiber and injection molded components meaning that when you need to fly, the aircraft will perform.

 

 

Vision Based System (VBS)

The ergonomically designed controller provides precise aircraft control, real-time aircraft telemetry, spoken verbal alarms, camera control, on-screen live digital video down-link, mapping, and semi-autonomus flight modes for altitude hold and GPS position hold functions; meaning that in one small package you have all the information you need at your finger tips. The new handheld GCS is a work or art and the integrated display and verbal alarms ease pilot load making it a dream to fly.

Incredible Aerial Photos & Video

 

The X4-ES helicopter system delivers a high quality digital video from a wide variety of cameras. When flying a digital IP camera payload the system is delivering 5mp live video providing razor sharp real-time video. We can deliver this quality because the camera gimble is gyro stabilized in the pitch and roll axis, the camera is vibration isolated and the video data is delivered through a dedicated digital communications channel. This combination helps keep the camera on target and provides highly detailed results

 

DraganFlyer X4-P

 

X4-P in Yellow, and ready for flight. The high intensity navigation LEDs provide an excellent visual reference even in direct sunlight. LED brightness is remote controlled via the handheld controller. And pictured is the SONY NEX5n mounted on the Draganfly gyro stabilized (in pitch axis) camera mount with onboard IMU to keep that camera steady and on-the-shot. The helicopter is a complete system designed, manufactured and supported by Draganfly Innovations

Draganfly Tango UAV Aerial Video and Photography

How do you get professional quality aerial video and pictures in remote, hazardous, or urban areas where full size aircraft are not practical? The Draganfly (DF) Tango, a new, easy to operate unmanned aerial vehicle could be the perfect answer.

The Draganfly Tango is the most recent airplane released by Draganfly Innovations Inc. The DF Tango is designed as an effective solution for hard to get aerial images. This fully customizable aircraft comes as a complete turn key package that can be safely operated by one person.

A complete DF Tango package comprises of:

• the Tango airframe,
• the bungee launching system, and
• all of the flight systems.

All of these components are stored and transported in sturdy, military grade cases.

Tandem Wings

The unique tandem wing design of the Draganfly Tango not only looks impressive but greatly adds to the performance of the vehicle. By using a patented tandem wing configuration the DF Tango is able to perform exceptionally well at low speeds and has very mild stall characteristics. Rather than violently spinning like a conventional plane, if the DF Tango is stalled the nose will gently drop and the plane will "self correct" once it has gained enough airspeed.

Only 3 Minutes to Launch

Launching the plane is a simple task as it is done with an included bungee launching system which can be assembled in about 3 minutes.

 

The Draganfly Tango UAV Airplane is capable of autonomous flight and has a maximum flight time of 50 minutes.

 

 

Draganfly Tango UAV Electronics Case

 

Includes, LiPo battery charging system, radio control unit, batteries, and bungee launcher.

 

 

Draganfly Tango UAV Transport Case

 

The Draganfly Tango UAV Airplane easily disassembles to fit in its transport case.

 

 

Draganfly Tango UAV Aerial Photography

 

The Draganfly Tango UAV Airplane is capable of carrying a 10MP digital still camera with remote controlled zoom and shutter. Take multiple images in sequence and import them into special software that creates one large panoramic image.

 

 

Automatic Flight Leveling System

 

Although the DF Tango has exceptional roll and yaw stability in winds and turbulence, it has also been equipped with a flight leveling system similar to the thermal intelligence used on the Draganflyer V Ti. This feature consists of four thermal sensors and some intricate circuitry that can tell the difference between the ground and the sky. If the plane starts heading towards the ground it will automatically regain level flight to prevent a possible crash.

 

Camera Packages

 

The optional camera package comes pre-installed in the aircraft and in a hardshell case for storage and transportation.

 

The standard wireless video base station includes:

• a diversity receiver,
• two patch antennas to receive the 2.4 GHz video signal sent by the onboard video transmitter,
• to power the receiver, a three cell 1320 mAh lithium polymer battery is included,
• a video recorder and monitor can also be mounted in the base, and station; these are not included with the standard base station.

There is also a deluxe base station available. this upgrade includes everything in the standard base station plus a 5 inch monitor and digital video recorder installed on a panel mount.
