Droneflight acquires DataHawk Fixed Wing

Written By Andrew Griffiths

DataHawk Fixed Wing

As our clients needs have grown in scale and complexity, we have invested in a fixed wing drone with PPK capability.  This enables us to undertake much larger surveys with greater efficiency than with a multirotor drone. 

When it came to select a fixed wing platform we had a number of key requirements:

  • Accuracy, it had to be able to deliver high quality results using PPK or RTK alone.

  • Flight time, we needed around 40mins.

  • Robustness, fixed wing drones typically have a “tougher life” than multirotors.

  • Real local support, we wanted to work with a company with real expertise in the UK.

  • Capability to operate with smaller take off and landing area.

  • Cost, its always a factor!
