The Tiger-240 VTOL is a high-performance, lightweight drone crafted for precision aerial mapping and surveying. Its hybrid vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities give it both flexibility and efficiency, making it a strong choice for remote and varied mission environments.

Construction & Design

Materials: Built from carbon fiber and fiberglass, the Tiger-240 balances toughness with reduced air resistance thanks to its streamlined aerodynamic design.

Modular Payload Cabin: Features a detachable cabin mounted on slide rails for quick payload swaps. Designed to accommodate full-frame Sony A-series mapping cameras with built-in hot shoe and shutter cable support.

Precision & Connectivity

PPK Module: Includes a built-in PPK unit supporting 25 Hz RAW data capture—enabling post-processed positioning accuracy down to < 1 cm. Compatible with NTRIP, CORS RTK networks, and Emlid base stations.

Long-Range Link: Uses a P9 900 MHz data link offering connectivity up to 30 km, enabling robust control and telemetry coverage.

Performance Metrics

Wingspan: Approximately 2.4 m.

Takeoff Weight: Around 7 kg (varies based on configuration and payload).

Max Altitude: Operational ceiling around 400 m (local specifications).
