Sky Whale Mini Electric Long Endurance VTOL Drone - YANGDA

Overview

Fast Deployment

One-Person Setup in 3 Minutes

Featuring a quick-release mechanism for arms and wiring harnesses, the Sky Whale Mini 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.

Quick-Release Payload Bay

Smoother Mission Switching

The Sky Whale Mini VTOL features an integrated quick-release mechanism at the bottom of the fuselage, using a mechanical locking system combined with plug-and-play wiring. This tool-free design enables rapid swapping of multiple mission payloads, such as surveillance cameras, LiDAR sensors, or medical supply modules.

Ready for All Weather

Reliable Flight in Rain Conditions

The Sky Whale Mini 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 Mini 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 Mini 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

43.2 km/h Wind Resistance

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

Drone Life-Safe Design

More Reliable Flight

Hot-Swappable Battery System: With an built-in extra auxiliary flight battery, the system enables uninterrupted system power during battery swap. This allows continuous operation and multiple back-to-back missions.

Size And Packing Dimension

Surveying & Geospatial Information

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

The Sky Whale Mini VTOL Solution: With a 10 kg payload capacity, The Sky Whale Mini VTOLcan simultaneously carry a LiDAR system and high-precision INS. Its 3.5-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

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.

The Sky Whale Mini VTOL Solution: A quick-release cargo bay design enables the delivery of up to 10 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.

The Sky Whale Mini 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".
