Overview

Takes off like a copter, flies like a plane

KCF-15 lifts off and lands vertically, so it needs no runway. Once airborne, it cruises on its wings for long range at high speed.

Its 4+1 motor configuration (four lift motors and one pusher) makes it more reliable, and the full carbon fiber composite body keeps it light at 14.5 kg MTOW.

  • Recommended 2–2.5 hours or under 150 km per flight
  • RGB camera with 30× optical, 180× total zoom
  • Video and telemetry range of 5–15 km

Key features

Built for long range surveillance

  1. VTOL fixed wing

    Vertical take-off and landing with a 4+1 motor and propeller configuration for more reliability.

  2. Long endurance

    Up to 3 hours and 180 km without payload. 2–2.5 hours is recommended for safety and battery life.

  3. High speed cruise

    Recommended cruise speed of 15–18 m/s, with a top speed of 90 km/h.

  4. 30× optical zoom camera

    RGB optical zoom 30×, digital 6×, total 180×. The camera can be upgraded to suit your needs.

  5. Full carbon fiber body

    Carbon fiber composite airframe with a 2650 mm wingspan and 1450 mm fuselage.

  6. Wind tolerant

    Handles winds up to 14 m/s while cruising and under 10 m/s during take-off and landing.

  7. Triple redundant flight controller

    Industrial grade autopilot with triple redundant IMU and dual redundant high precision GNSS.

  8. Long range link

    Video, telemetry and RC over 2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, 915 MHz or 433 MHz.

Penjelasan
  1. Range (jarak) capaian signal RC, telemetri, video itu bergantung pada kondisi lapangan, interferensi gelombang, dll. Jadi jarak itu tidak dijamin dapat tercapai.
  2. Maksimum payload di sini adalah kemampuan drone membawa beban tertentu, misal kamera, dll. Apabila diberikan beban maksimum (2 kg), maka jarak tempuh (range) drone akan jauh lebih pendek.
  3. Rekomendasi terbang: kecepatan angin di bawah 5 km/jam.
  4. Pada maksimum speed, jarak terbang akan menjadi lebih singkat.
  5. Maksimum flight time dan rekomendasi flight time adalah pada saat tidak ada payload apa pun selain baterai dan kondisi angin tenang, yaitu pada angka 0–1 skala Beaufort (kecepatan angin 0,3–1,5 m/s).
  6. Garansi ketentuan pabrik adalah untuk jasa perbaikan saja, di luar biaya/harga spare parts. Garansi hanya berlaku untuk kerusakan karena cacat produk dari pabrik, bukan kerusakan akibat pemakaian ataupun kecelakaan terbang. Ketentuan lengkap ada di Syarat & Ketentuan Garansi.
