Event 38 E400 | Fixed-Wing VTOL Drone for Surveying and Mapping
The Event 38 E400 is a transformative fixed-wing VTOL drone developed from over a decade of Event 38's expertise and innovation in the surveying and mapping industry. Combining vertical takeoff and landing convenience with fixed-wing efficiency, the Event 38 E400 delivers exceptional coverage, versatile payload options, and simplified automation for professional aerial operations.
Event 38 E400 Key Features
Seamless VTOL Operations
Take off and land vertically without additional launch or recovery equipment — enabling deployment from confined spaces and challenging terrain with no runway required.
Versatile Payload Capacity
Carrying up to 3 lbs (1.3 kg) — 70% more than comparable mapping drones — the E400 supports a wide range of payload options including High-Resolution RGB, Multispectral, Thermal, gimbaled EO/IR, and custom payload integrations. PPK GPS is integrated with each payload for precise georeferencing.
- Specialty cameras for high-resolution photogrammetry or thermal and multispectral imagery
- Live video feed for law enforcement, search and rescue, fire patrol, and management
- PPK GPS integrated with each payload
Fixed-Wing Efficiency
Speeds up to 16 m/s (36 mph) and flight durations up to 90 minutes enable extensive area coverage in a single mission — making the E400 one of the most efficient mapping platforms available.
Quick Payload Swaps
Change payloads in approximately 30 seconds without tools or specialized skills — maximizing time in the air and minimizing downtime between mission types.
E38 Ground Control Software
The included E38 Ground Control software makes mission planning, pre-flight checks, and in-flight monitoring straightforward. Before takeoff, an automated pre-flight check scans all sensors and systems and alerts you immediately to any issues. In-flight monitoring provides real-time visibility into operations, with the ability to update the mission plan as conditions change.
Compatible with any Windows laptop or an integrated tablet solution. Telemetry operates at 900 MHz and optional video data at 2.4 GHz — both can be encrypted for secure operations.
Expert-Recommended Specialty Cameras
Four pre-selected specialty cameras with custom fixtures designed by Event 38 engineers ensure seamless integration out of the box. Custom fixture solutions are also available for unique payload requirements.
