GL500 hybrid (battery and petrol) fixed-wing VTOL drone is specially designed for missions that conventional electric VTOL drones can’t do: 15kg heavy payload delivery and 10 hours of ultra-long endurance aviation. Given its stable structure and high reliability, it is an excellent UAV platform for emergency cargo delivery, long-distance coast patrol, oil pipeline inspection, border monitoring, etc.
10 Hours Ultra-Long Endurance
Sky Whale Max gasoline hybrid VTOL can fly for 10 hours with a 2kg payload.
15kg Payload
With the streamlined aerodynamic structure design, 65kg max take-off weight (MTOW), large wing area, and small wing loading,
the hybrid VTOL drone can carry a 15kg payload for 4 hours.
Separate Camera Bin
Sky Whale Max hybrid UAV comes with a separate bin for gimbal camera installation, allowing it to search for targets through an onboard camera when carrying a heavy payload.
Stable and Mighty Power
YANGDA provides two hybrid engine options for the gasoline VTOL: the standard 116cc EFI engine, and an optional 120cc version optimized for high-altitude and low-temperature missions, available upon request.
Weatherproof
Due to its anti-water design on the fuselage, the Sky Whale Max gas VTOL drone is weatherproof and can reach an IP55 rating. In this case, the waterproof VTOL aircraft can carry out urgent missions on rainy days, like search and rescue.
Fast Deploy
The fixed-wing UAV is adapting the most advanced quick-detach technology on both airframe and cable connector, making assembly and disassembly becomes super easy. 
No Piloting Skills Needed
The LAUNCH ground control software that Sky Whale Max hybrid VTOL drone uses is developed for beginners, so a pilot without any flight experience can fly the drone well.
Working Day and Night
Sky Whale Max can be easily identified in the air with onboard aviation lights, especially at night.
Built-In TOF Landing Assistance
The landing is gentle and safe with one range detection radar device.
Onboard ADS-B (optional)
Enhance your drone operations with cutting-edge ADS-B technology! Receive real-time aircraft data, including latitude, longitude, altitude, and more, from the airspace above, while transmitting your drone’s own live position. Stay aware, fly smart, and ensure safer skies.
Satellite Communication (optional)
YANGDA supports two satellite communication options: entry-level and Starlink. Entry-level SatCom provides basic telemetry and drone control, while Starlink enables full communication—accurate telemetry, responsive control, and real-time video streaming, enabling uninterrupted missions even in remote or disconnected areas.
Fly by Camera (optional)
This surveillance VTOL can follow and monitor a stationary or moving target of interest along a routine patrol route if the onboard drone zoom camera tracks it. Additionally, the target’s coordinates can be copied and shared with the command center. Once the monitoring is complete, the VTOL drone can return to its original patrol route.
Monitor Target Movement Status on GCS (optional)
The pilot can use the LAUNCH GCS to monitor the target’s movement status, such as real-time updated GPS coordinates, the distance between the target and the drone, as well as the distance between the target and the HOME position.
Follow Me Feature (optional)
Sometimes, the flight platform, such as a boat or a vehicle, needs to move after the drone takes off to complete a mission. In this scenario, the drone must be capable of following the moving flight platform and landing once the task is completed. This feature is very useful when the VTOL drone is conducting a surveillance or monitoring mission on the sea.
Live View & Control In Command Center (optional)
Even far from the flight site, operators in the command center can remotely preview live video streaming from the drone camera and control the drone gimbal camera simultaneously, making it particularly ideal for surveillance, inspection, and disaster response that require strategic planning and coordinated efforts.
