YANGDA Sky Whale Max Electric Heavy Lift Long Endurance VTOL Drone

Overview

Fast Deployment

One-Person Setup in 3 Minutes

Featuring a quick-release mechanism for arms and wiring harnesses, the Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL enables a hassle-free full assembly in 3 minutes.Designed for single-operator convenience with a single flight case solution, it helps capture critical operational windows in emergency missions.

Ready for All Weather

Reliable Flight in Rain Conditions

The Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL airframe and critical components, including the pitot tube, are reinforced with waterproof protection, achieving an IP55 rating. The system maintains stable operation in drizzle and intermittent rain, supporting mission-critical tasks such as search and rescue and rapid inspection—ensuring uninterrupted performance when it matters most.

Smart Battery System

Safer Flight with SRTH Algorithm

The Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL can be equipped with the XTurbo intelligent battery, featuring the SRTH (Smart Return-to-Home) algorithm. SRTH dynamically predicts remaining flight endurance based on real-time power consumption, flight distance, and battery health. Compared with traditional voltage-triggered return, it provides greater accuracy and reliability, effectively reducing the risk of low-battery forced landings.

Hassle-Free Operation

Easy for Beginners

Paired with the LAUNCH ground control software featuring a clean interface and intuitive logic, the Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL supports one-click takeoff, automated mission planning, and intelligent return-to-home. Even operators with no prior flight experience can carry out missions independently after short-term training.

Stable Performance in Harsh Conditions

43.2km/h Wind Resistance

With a powerful propulsion system combined with aerodynamic optimization, the Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL maintains stable flight even in wind speeds of up to 43.2km/h. It is well suited for operations in high-wind applications, especially patrol missions in costal, mountainous or high-altitude regions.

Size And Packing Dimension

Surveying & Geospatial Information

Challenge: Limited coverage per flight, weak signal in mountainous areas, and difficulties in data transmission.

Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL Solution:

With a 20 kg payload capacity, Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL can simultaneously carry a LiDAR system and high-precision INS. Its 4-hour extended endurance significantly reduces takeoff and landing cycles. Its optional 4G or Starlink communication enables real-time flight data and video transmission, improving operational efficiency by over 50%.

Recommended Configuration: LiDAR + PPK module + 4G data link

Security Surveillance & Border Patrol

User Pain Points: Difficulty in target identification at night and the need for continuous hovering during long-range patrols.

Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL Solution:

With the optional “Fly by Camera” function, the VTOL system can automatically lock onto and track ground vehicles or individual while continuously updating target coordinates in real time. With the navigation lights enhancing nighttime identification, and a thermal imaging gimbal extending night vision capability, it enables all-weather, wide-area surveillance with improved operational safety.

Recommended Configuration: Storm Eye EO/IR gimbal camera + N150 long-range video & data link

Emergency Material Transport

Challenge: Since roads and urban infrastructure are damaged in disaster zones, emergency material transport demands higher precision and cannot be achieved via traditonal transportation methods.

Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL Solution:

A quick-release cargo bay design enables the delivery of up to 20 kg of emergency supplies per flight, including medical supplies, communication equipment, and life-saving gear. The system supports multi-point landing and remote delivery capabilities, ensuring precise deployment in complex terrain.

Recommended Configuration: Quick-release cargo bay + remote delivery module + parachute system

Maritime Operations

Challenge: Shipboard takeoff and landing are difficult due to the lack of fixed reference points and compass interference.

Sky Whale Max Electric VTOL Solution: 

The "Follow Me" mode enables the UAV to take off from and land on moving vessels. While the differential GPS frees the VTOL from compass calibration and is resistant to vessel electromagnetic interference. And the ptional 4G or Starlink communication enable beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations.

Recommended Configuration: 4G data link + waterproof protection kit
