Autel Dragonfish PRO

Autel Dragonfish Pro | Long-Endurance Tilt-Rotor VTOL Drone

The Autel Dragonfish Pro is a long-endurance tilt-rotor VTOL unmanned aircraft system designed for professional and government aerial operations requiring multi-sensor data capture and extended flight performance. Combining vertical takeoff and landing with fixed-wing cruise efficiency, the Autel Dragonfish Pro enables runway-independent deployment and long-range mission execution across public safety, inspection, mapping, and surveillance applications.

Autel Dragonfish Pro Key Features

Smart, Simple, Efficient

The Dragonfish Pro's unique tilt-rotor design simplifies operation while maximizing performance and efficiency. With no complicated moving parts, it is modular, waterproof, and mission-ready right out of the box — assembling in just 3 minutes with a 5-second system boot and self-check.

• Up to 180 minutes of flight time with payload
• 30 km transmission range when paired with base station
• 108 km/h maximum speed in fixed-wing mode
• 2.5 kg payload capacity for modular sensor configurations
• IP43 ingress protection for challenging field environments
• RTK module for centimeter-level positioning without ground control points

Intelligence and Autonomy

The Autel Dragonfish Pro comes equipped with a range of automated functions to streamline and simplify mission execution:

• One-Button Takeoff and Landing
• AI High-Speed Intelligent Tracking
• Point of Interest Flight
• Terrain Following
• Advanced Mission Planning via Autel Voyager software
• Quick Mission — deviate from preplanned routes for changing mission demands

Safety and Redundancy

• Automatic transition to multirotor mode in adverse conditions where fixed-wing flight may stall
• Dual-redundant CAN bus communication monitors control surfaces and motor status in real time
• Integrated airspeed velocity sensors resistant to snow and ice
• AI continuous system self-check to detect and prevent faults before they occur
• Automatic return-to-home when GNSS signals are available on loss of link
• Battery, IMU, barometer, compass, RTK, and positioning system all feature redundant designs

Interchangeable Payload System

The Dragonfish Pro supports a range of modular payloads interchangeable across the Dragonfish platform family:

• Z2: Dual-sensor zoom and wide-angle camera
• T3: 4K 20× optical zoom, 12MP wide-angle, and 640×512 thermal imaging
• T3H: Enhanced thermal configuration
• L20T / L50T: Up to 50× optical zoom for detailed observation at 2 km range
• Multispectral: For agricultural and environmental data collection

9.7-Inch Ground Control Station

The included ground control station features a high-resolution 2048×1536 px, ultra-bright 1000-nit TFT-LCD touchscreen — nearly twice the brightness of a typical mobile device. Water and dust resistant with a battery life of up to 4.5 hours and 30 km video transmission support.
