Description
Cumulus is a highly autonomous fixed-wing drone for aerial mapping assignments with up to 2,5 hours flight time and mapping accuracy of 2.5cm. Due to its unique design the aircraft requires no special infrastructure for take-off and landing. Once airborne, Cumulus will autonomously fly assignments along with returning to land fully autonomously at a predefined location. Fully manual control is also possible at any time.
