The Hero VTOL features efficient aerodynamics through its high-efficiency V-tail design and optimized tail-fuselage configuration, resulting in reasonable load distribution, increased lift and drag, and improved flight efficiency. Endquote

Built with high-strength HERO and lightweight materials, including carbon fibers, wooden boards, and PC boards, this aircraft features embedded box structures that enhance its structural strength and rigidity. Optimized through an 'overload experiment', the design minimizes unnecessary weight while ensuring precision and stability.

HERO VTOL features quick disassembly and tool-free design, ideal for mapping and monitoring applications. The aircraft supports 1kg payload with 144km range and 136min flight time. Its 2180mm wingspan offers stable flight performance. The wing and tail are designed for easy assembly and disassembly, reducing installation steps and disassembly time.

The HERO VTOL features a rear three-point landing gear at the bottom of its fuselage, providing high ground clearance and ample mounting space. The tail rotor is designed to avoid ground contact. Inside the fuselage, wire grooves and removable baffles simplify wiring installation, ensuring efficient cabin wiring.

Features a four-point connection structure in the nose cabin for stability and reliability, with two 9-pin connectors reserved for connections like image transmission, remote control, and airspeed signals to the fuselage flight control system.

The cabin features a layered design for efficient space use. The bottom layer accommodates power distribution and landing radar, while the middle layer can install open-source or commercial flight control systems. The top layer houses PPK or Hah Precision GNSS module image transmission equipment. A screw-secured hatch ensures dust-proofing and prevents foreign objects from falling.

Equipped with GPS, compass, and PPK antenna modules for precise positioning and navigation. The tail push ESC is situated below the flight control cabin, encased in an external aluminum shell for effective heat dissipation.

Equipped with a 195mm rat-tail glue stick antenna that can be pre-buried in the vertical tail, this HERO VTOL drone features improved support strength and a clean electromagnetic environment. The V-tail also boasts a tool-free quick-release structure, allowing for easy locking and release with one push. This design simplifies maintenance by eliminating the need to pre-embed the tail servo. Additionally, the built-in rocker arm ensures accurate rudder surface execution, even if the drive column is loose.

The HERO VTOL's wing can be divided into two segments: the wing root and tip. Its structure features carbon tubes, auxiliary supports, and plastic components forming a strong frame, reducing storage volume.

Featuring 3M-strengthened wing roots for enhanced rigidity and torsion resistance, this drone also boasts a servo-driven wing design for simplicity and durability.

Fixed-wing VTOL aircraft features a durable aluminum alloy rotor arm with easy installation and removal for simple maintenance, featuring an open mid-section for ESC and servo cable installation (optional).

Equipped with a large 65mm outer rotor motor and an optional customized ESC (67*31*12mm), this drone features excellent heat dissipation, water resistance, and dustproofing, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.
