Overview

CyberQuads are electric ducted quadrotor Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). A unique amalgamation of state-of-the-art VTOL UAV technologies, CyberQuads combine the mechanical simplicity, low noise, stability and agility of a quadrotor with the compactness, safety and efficiency of ducted fans. With only four moving parts that are safely shrouded, the CyberQuads are low maintenance, easily transportable and rapidly deployable.

Experience more compact performance

CyberQuads have highly optimised ducted fans, allowing the platforms to be less than half the size of a helicopter rotor, with the same lifting efficiency
Easily fly through doorways, down hallways and through tight spaces without risking a rotor strike
A complete CyberQuad system is packaged within an easily transportable Mil-Spec ruggedized case
The CyberQuad Maxi can be folded in order to fit in a backpack with a UAV controller, ensuring rapid deployment

Remain agile and in control

Ducts in the CyberQuads produce even more lift in forward flight, enabling both efficient cruise and high dash speeds
Differential fan thrust provides high control authority
Counter rotating fan pairs balance gyroscopic torques and eliminate dissymmetry of lift
By varying the fan speeds hundreds of times per second, CyberQuads are electronically actively stabilised
An exceptional attitude control system keeps the unit level and does not allow the pilot to flip the craft
No inefficient aerodynamic stabilisation mechanisms are needed
No complicated swash plates, tail rotors and control surfaces that need to be inspected and calibrated
Higher levels of autonomy such as altitude/position hold and way-point navigation are available

Deploy in less than one minute

A CyberQuad has only four moving parts with no assembly required, and a complete system fits in one case (Back-pack deployment optional)

Execute your operation in stealth

The CyberQuad MINI is the ultimate stealth UAV for secret operations, producing less than 65 dBA at 3 meters and inaudible beyond 30 meters

Fly autonomously

Way Point Navigation, auto-take-off and the Ground Control Station (with its aerial map interface) are all available in order to provide the CyberQuad with fully autonomous flight capabilities

Customise your payload to suit your operation

Front mounted cameras on the CyberQuads allow visibility over large elevation ranges, from straight-down to diagonally-up
Modular central payload mounts provide the flexibility to carry a variety of different payload modules
Payloads and sensors can also be mounted between the ducts, allowing greater installation flexibility and peripheral detection ability

Record video airborne with exceptional clarity

With the optional onboard video recorder or HD camera payloads, the video is recorded in high resolution onboard and utilises transmission noise-free post processing.

Save money

Each battery in a CyberQuad costs less than $0.01 to charge
A complete CyberQuad solution typically pays for itself in less than 10 hours of conventional helicopter use

Avoid risk with a safe design

CyberQuads utilise electric propulsion which avoids engine fumes, fuel and heat
The durable monocoque airframes are manufactured using state-of-the-art engineering thermoplastic materials
Low speed, light weight unexposed fans have very little stored energy, allowing the unit to be safely operated near people and within urban environments
