With a re-designed, 30% lighter airframe mixed with a 3Kg+ payload capability and 55+ minute flight time, the DMqD Gen 2 is an ideal fleet addition for a extra demanding survey and inspection purposes.
There was a seismic shift in direction of UAV-based purposes in recent times, pushed by their ease of use, rising capabilities and continually enhancing security.
Naturally, as adoption will increase, so does the demand for extra succesful drones that may fly for longer while carrying heavier payloads.
The Darkish Matter qD Gen 2 has been developed to not solely meet however exceed our pilot’s calls for. Not only for the current day, however for years to return.
Modular design
Like its greater brother, the hX Gen 2, the qD has a modular design. The arms will be swapped out for a extra highly effective drive practice to supply extra thrust and redundancy for greater payloads, the legs will also be configured as an extended leg arrange, quick leg arrange, fastened touchdown gear and a tripod-mounted lading system to help the plane when touchdown on shifting or uneven surfaces.
This permits the qD to hold a much bigger number of payloads and will increase security when flying in tougher environments.
These particular person consumer specs will be utilized on the level of order or will be made to order afterward, offering most flexibility for our clients and their continually rising listing of necessities.
However the modular design advantages don’t cease there. Nearly any a part of our plane will be upgraded – which means that when the following technology of autopilot programs are launched, you don’t have to switch your complete plane to have entry to the newest options. We merely take away the previous {hardware} and substitute it with the newer {hardware}, permitting our clients to proceed to utilize their completely operational plane in addition to maximizing their ROI.
Cowl extra floor
The qD is offered with completely different drive practice choices and it will also be flown with one or two batteries. The result’s a staggering flight time of 55+ minutes, with sufficient nonetheless within the tank to return and land safely.
Much more spectacular, is a flight time of 45+ minutes with a 1.5Kg payload. This makes the qD Gen 2 an especially succesful plane when paired with a Yellowscan LiDAR, Workswell WIRIS sensor or a Viewpro digicam payload to call just a few examples.
All of our Darkish Matter platforms now come single band RTK prepared too, which means surveys will be accomplished with extraordinarily excessive accuracy.
But it surely doesn’t cease there, if the job covers an excellent bigger space, the plane will be landed and the batteries ‘hotswapped’ to permit mission continuity.
GCS flexibility
Our Darkish Matter plane are actually Ardupilot primarily based, harnessing the potential of an open supply platform being developed by a worldwide group.
With this, comes most flexibility for our pilots, as among the hottest GCS platforms are actually supported by our plane. Our two hottest controller choices are Android-based, which means the GCS software (if obtainable) will be downloaded and put in.
Security as a high precedence
While we now have pushed the envelope when it comes to efficiency and reliability, we even have an enormous deal with security for the qD.
The lenses for the navigational lighting have been redeveloped to make the plane extra conspicuous by cleverly dispersing the sunshine.
All our plane now additionally include twin GPS modules as commonplace, guaranteeing the plane is aware of precisely the place it’s always. It has additionally been programmed to pick the opposite GPS module within the occasion that one begins offering misguided knowledge.
The autopilot module additionally has three temperature-controlled IMUs, two of that are mechanically vibration dampened to scale back the impact of body vibration to state estimation. There are additionally two onboard barometers.
Your entire system from airframe to every particular person part has been deliberately over-engineered to make sure our platforms will be as protected and dependable as doable for our pilots.
ADS-B choices are actually obtainable for our plane too. This, together with the improved lighting, permits the plane to be as conspicuous and as seen as doable to each native plane and ATC.
Customization from the bottom up
At Clogworks, we’re dedicated to a lot extra than simply manufacturing plane as an ‘off the shelf’ resolution. Now we have numerous configurations obtainable for our plane. However we additionally develop tailor-made options to fulfill our clients’ actual necessities.
We work with our clients from the preliminary thought, proper the best way by way of to the ultimate, delivered resolution.
