BABY SHARK 260 PRO VTOL
The Baby Shark 260 Pro is a composite VTOL platform tailored for survey, mapping, inspection, and long-range aerial missions. Its design prioritizes aerodynamic efficiency, modular payload versatility, and compact logistics.
High Efficiency & Endurance: Designed for long missions, offering up to 3.6 hours of flight time.
Powerful Propulsion: Supports a maximum takeoff weight of 13 kg and can cruise at 27 m/s (~97 km/h) while maintaining low air resistance.
Modular Cabin Design: Features dual compartments: one for batteries and another spacious section for payloads—suitable for gimbal cameras, mapping systems like the Foxtech 10× zoom, Map-A7R, or 3DM V4 oblique cameras.
Transport-Friendly Configuration: Detachable tail and vertical-tail-landing leg simplify setup and transport.

RTF Versions & Inclusions
The Baby Shark can arrive in several Ready-to-Fly (RTF) configurations, supporting various flight controllers and communications systems:
Options include Pixhawk Cube Orange, CUAV V5+, or X7 Pro—paired with radios like DA16S+, T12, or Taurus-2.
Each package typically includes the VTOL frame, motors and ESCs for both vertical and horizontal flight, batteries, GNSS systems, a radio controller, a carrying case, and assembly/flight testing services.
Applications & Capabilities
Survey & Mapping: Efficient for large-area photogrammetry and terrain modeling when equipped with appropriate payloads.
Inspection & Monitoring: Great for infrastructure inspection, environmental surveys, and asset monitoring due to stable flight and adaptable payload bay.
Long-Range Operations: Exceptional endurance and aerodynamic range make it ideal for extended missions with minimal landings.
