EBee Plus Drone Overview

The innovation and change of eBee plus drones, close to human hand throwing, breaking the traditional unmanned aircraft operation mode, redefining high-end fixed-wing drones. In order to meet the needs of different missions, eBee plus has a flight time of up to fifty-nine minutes. It has a professional flight control system that can be used with various loads. It can also be upgraded to the RTK / PPK version to reduce the deployment of ground image control points.

2. Main features

High efficiency-flight time: 59 minutes; flight area at 122 meters altitude: 2.2 square kilometers

High precision-Made in Switzerland, built-in RTK and PPK, activated and switched at any time; the absolute accuracy of orthophoto and digital surface model can reach 3 cm; high-precision results in arbitrary terrain

Convenient and fast flight control software eMotion3-users can formulate overall flight planning and multi-voyage flight for the project; multi-area flight missions can be formulated in one plan; the 3D real scene configured by itself allows you to plan, simulate and control more accurately Man-machine track

Equipped with a variety of loads that are perfectly suitable for the project-professional RGB camera: measurement / geographic information; thermal infrared camera: photovoltaic / rescue / environmental protection; multi-spectral camera: agriculture / forestry / cultural relics protection

3. Main hardware

The eBee plus fuselage has a wingspan of about 110cm, a take-off weight of less than 1.1kg, and the wings are removable. Adopt highly integrated and air transport box design, very suitable for individual soldier combat, portable and efficient.

Propulsion: Brushless engine.
Battery: High-performance polymer lithium battery, 59min high-efficiency battery life (not affected by wind), plug-in design, charging time <90min.
Built-in autopilot, gyroscope, GPS, etc., to monitor the wing, maintain flight status and return attitude.
Antenna: Connect the route planning software through 2.4G wireless communication antenna.
Sensors: Real-time detection of airspeed, wind speed and flight altitude.
Status indicator: The indicator shows the current status, ensuring that the operator has the real-time status of the aircraft.
Ground height sensor: It consists of a high-speed optical sensor and a lens device. It is used to detect the proximity of the aircraft to the ground, which can avoid damage to the aircraft near the ground during flight. It can also assist in landing and make landing more accurate.
Propeller: The propeller is connected with elastic materials to avoid damage to the engine due to the landing of the propeller and extend the service life of the engine.
Flight speed: 40km / h ～ 110km / h (11m / s-30m / s)
Flight conditions: up to 45km / h (12m / s) wind resistance.

The fuselage is equipped with RTK and PPK equipment, which can be upgraded for a fee to solve the worries of buying drones again. (Available after payment upgrade)

High-definition / thermal infrared / multi-spectral sensors: eBee plus is equipped with a 20-megapixel S.O.D.A high-definition camera, and can be arbitrarily matched with other thermal infrared or multi-spectral cameras, which can be used in different industries
