Albatross UAV is Applied Aeronautics' fixed-wing platform for long-endurance survey, inspection and aerial data missions.
About
Albatross UAV is a configurable electric fixed-wing aircraft delivered assembled, ground-tested and fitted to order with selected avionics, communications and payloads. A PX4-compatible autopilot and QGroundControl support autonomous takeoff, mission execution and landing, while the modular bay accepts survey, multispectral, thermal, EO/IR, communications and edge-compute options.
The three-metre-span aircraft has a 10 kg maximum takeoff weight, 100 km-plus stated range and up to four hours of endurance. Available payload varies from 2 to 4.4 kg with battery configuration. Standard command range is about 1 km, with optional long-range RF and redundant LTE/5G packages for more demanding operations.
