Recently, MicroPilot announced that their autopilot now supports transitioning VTOL drones.
MicroPilot autopilots already fly a wide range of UAVs, including: fixed-wings, multi-rotors, helicopters and even tail sitters.
Now, manufacturers of transitioning UAV drones have the option of a professional autopilot known for its reliability.
Transitioning VTOL Drone Autopilot
Transitioning drones benefit from the many options that come standard with MicroPilot autopilots. The MicroPilot’s HORIZON
mp ground station software features a built-in VTOL simulator. This simulator helps speed up the learning curve and provides an operator training mode.
The MicroPilot’s XTENDER
mp software development kit also enables customers to differentiate themselves from other transitioning drone manufacturers. In addition, MicroPilot’s trueHWIL
2, the highest fidelity simulator in the industry, also supports transitioning drones.
“I’m very pleased that we now have a solution for our customers that want to fly transitioning VTOL drones,” said Howard Loewen, President of MicroPilot. “As the industry matures, high reliability professional products are more important. Manufacturers of transitioning VTOL drones can now choose an autopilot designed with the professional in mind.”
Why MicroPilot?
Drone manufacturers choose professional grade autopilots to ensure high quality and reliability. MicroPilot’s professional grade autopilots are subject to 100% environmental stress screening. In addition, they also go through multi-point calibration and testing during the manufacturing process. This ensures that all of MicroPilot’s autopilots offer consistent performance and outstanding reliability.
By supporting transitioning drones, MicroPilot demonstrates its ongoing efforts to support a wide range of UAV. MicroPilot continues to adapt to the constant changes of an increasingly high-tech world. As new UAVs appear, MicroPilot works to ensure customers have the option of choosing a high-reliability autopilot.
