The CQ series covers six vertical-takeoff platforms — electric and hybrid — spanning 33 kg to 200 kg MTOW. No runways, multi-hour endurance, payloads from 7 to 60 kg: one family that grows with the mission, from survey-grade mapping to heavy cargo runs.

A Different Payload Class Than Mapping-Nano VTOLs
Most VTOL drones marketed for surveying carry 1–4 kg. The CQ family starts at 7 kg and reaches 60 kg — the class that carries LiDAR units, hyperspectral cameras, cargo and multi-sensor stacks without shedding capability. If your payload list outgrew prosumer VTOLs, this is the next class up.
Standard Mission Equipment
- EO/IR/LRF gimbal payload (3S130A) standard; 2S150C upgrade†
- Data link 100 km standard (E100A/V100A), 300 km upgrade (E300A/V300A)†
- Dual-screen ground station (T40) + T16IZ controller†
- 1,000-waypoint autonomous mission planning, centimeter-grade RTK positioning†
Applications
Mapping & surveying ｜ LiDAR acquisition ｜ Pipeline & power-line patrol ｜ Forest fire monitoring ｜ Medium-cargo delivery ｜ Border surveillance
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can a CQ VTOL stay airborne? Up to 12 hours at zero payload for the CQ180A hybrid (manufacturer specification); with typical payloads, plan 3–4 hours — exact figures per model are in the table above with payload conditions stated.
Does it need a runway? No — vertical takeoff and landing from a clearing; fixed-wing cruise gives the multi-hour range.
Which model for LiDAR? CQ55A/CQ90A carry typical 5–15 kg LiDAR stacks with multi-hour endurance; CQ150A for heavy multi-sensor fits — send the payload list via RFQ for a configuration proposal.
How is it transported and deployed? The airframe breaks down for road transport; the CQ150A-class platforms deploy with a small crew. Deployment procedures ship with the system; training is included.
Are endurance figures tested or specified? They are manufacturer specifications at zero payload unless stated; mission-specific endurance is calculated and stated with assumptions in every proposal.
