About

About JOUAV PH-20

PH-20 is JOUAV's six-rotor heavy-payload aircraft for inspection, mapping, security and emergency-response work. Its carbon-fibre structure, plug-in arms and common electrical payload interface support LiDAR, RGB or oblique cameras, EO/IR gimbals, spectral imagers and synthetic-aperture radar. Maximum takeoff weight is 24.9 kg, with payload capacity up to 10 kg.

Flight time varies materially by configuration: JOUAV specifies 100 minutes empty, 55 minutes at full payload, 70 minutes with a gimbal camera and 75 minutes with LiDAR. Four-way millimetre-wave radar supports obstacle avoidance, while the controller uses sensor redundancy and emergency protection. Maximum speed is 20 m/s, operating radius reaches 30 km and the airframe is rated IP45.
