Product overview
The FCourier E05A is a UAV flight platform for imaging, surveying and aerial announcements, with a 3.96 m wingspan and 2 m length. Its rotors extend from inside the fuselage for vertical takeoff and landing, then retract automatically during cruise to reduce drag. Integrated equipment includes a manufacturer-developed flight control system. The aircraft can temporarily hover during a cruise mission and use visual navigation when satellite navigation is interfered with. Automatic sensing identifies and locates targets and sends results to the ground.
Mission equipment can be configured around an electro-optical gimbal, lidar, an oblique camera or a loudspeaker. The gimbal combines three-axis stabilization with 30× zoom visible-light/infrared imaging, intelligent locking and target recognition. Data-link choices are 30, 50 or 100 km. Operating limits include light rain, temperatures from -20 to +55 °C, Force 6 wind during takeoff and landing, and Force 8 during cruise. Quick-release construction supports unpacking to takeoff within two minutes with two people; operational deployment/stowage is specified separately as under two minutes.
