Fixed wing mapping drones are built for efficiency, accuracy, and large-scale coverage. Unlike multirotor drones, they can stay in the air longer and capture high-resolution data across wide areas, making them the ideal choice for professional aerial surveying projects.
High-Performance UAVs for Surveying and Mapping
When it comes to mapping large areas, fixed wing UAVs provide clear advantages over multirotor drones:
- Extended flight time allows surveyors to cover hundreds of hectares in a single mission.
- Cost efficiency by reducing the number of flights needed.
- Higher data accuracy with advanced sensors and RTK/PPK positioning.
- Scalable operations for industries that require frequent or large-scale mapping.
Our aerial survey drones are widely used in industries such as:
- Agriculture: Crop health analysis, soil mapping, and irrigation planning.
- Mining: Quarry monitoring, stockpile measurement, and volume calculations.
- Forestry: Forest inventory, health assessments, and deforestation tracking.
- Urban Planning: Infrastructure development, land surveying, and construction monitoring.
Where Do Our Mapping UAVs Excel?
UAV GIS Mapping Generate Accurate Geospatial Data
Fixed wing drones integrate seamlessly with GIS software, delivering high-precision orthomosaics and 3D models. This helps planners, engineers, and researchers make smarter decisions backed by real geospatial data.
Aerial Survey Drones for Land Development
Whether it’s preparing for new roads, housing projects, or commercial sites, our drones deliver fast and reliable topographic maps to guide land development teams.
Environmental & Forestry Surveys
Monitor ecosystems, assess biodiversity, and track environmental changes with drones that can cover thousands of acres efficiently.
Mining & Quarry Volume Measurement
Improve safety and reduce manual surveying risks. Our drones capture accurate volumetric data to calculate material stockpiles, monitor slope stability, and optimize mining operations.
