Safety and Redundancy

Built Tough: The Aircraft's composite outer shell and carbon fiber core gives the aircraft and wind resistance rating of level 6 and IP43 weather resistance to handle complex environments with ease.Backup Modules: The Dragonfish battery, barometer, positioning system, compass, and IMU all have backup modules to ensure flight safety.Attentive AI: Vigilant AI continuously self-checks the system to prevent faults before they occur.Autel Robotics' superior flight control platform guarantees stability and reliability in every flight. High Quality Sensors: Integrated airspeed velocity sensor monitor the environment in real time, even while buffeted by snow or ice. Automatic Transition: The Dragonfish will automatically transition to multi-rotor mode if adverse conditions cause fixed winged flight to stall or become unsustainable. The Dragonfish can automatically choose which mode to fly for the best performance. Internal Communication: Dual-redundant CAN bus communication protects the aircraft from electromagnetic interference and enables the rudder surface and motor status to be monitored in real time.

RTK Accuracy

Map with confidence with the Dragonfish’s two RTK (Real-Time Kinetic) modules, which enable the aircraft to provide centimeter-accurate location data when paired with a GNSS base station. The dual units back up each other’s data for additional peace of mind, while also improving image metadata quality and increasing flight precision and safety.

Interchangeable Payload System

*Please refer to the specifications page for specific payloads adaptability.


Tackle any operation with a variety of payload options that can be toolessly swapped to suit mission needs. Dragonfish payloads are designed to be interchangeable between aircraft classes to maximize the value and enhance the mission capability of the system.

Practical Applications

The Dragonfish's powerful platform and modular payload options make it an asset in a wide variety of professions.

  • Public Safety

    The Dragonfish is an all-in-one solution that allows law enforcement to conduct investigations, track suspects, and perform evidence collection.

  • Forest Fire Prevention

    Air patrol to ensure the first time forest fire identification, fire transmission, and tracking of forest fire fighting dynamics.

  • Powerline Inspection

    Realize the autonomy of inspections, improve the efficiency and refinement of inspections, and help the digital transformation of the power grid.

  • Traffic Law Enforcement

    The aerial vision understands the overall situation of the road, manages and controls the traffic in time, and ensures the smooth flow of traffic.

  • Coastal Patrol and Security

    Efficiently realize fixed-point, regular and fixed-route flight patrols to combat criminal activities such as smuggling.

  • Agriculture Monitoring

    Collect multi-spectral images of farmland, analyze abnormal areas, and assist agricultural practitioners in field management.

One Device. Any Mission.

Autel Voyager

Incredibly powerful yet simple to use, Autel Voyager is the one-stop solution for every mission. Designed specifically for the Dragonfish, the software provides advanced mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and other autonomous features.

• Mission Planning: Waypoint missions, polygon missions, and rectangular missions can be planned offsite prior to mission and started with a single click to begin autonomous flight. The pilot can regain control at any time during the mission for emergency maneuvers or custom flight path planning.

• Tap to Fly: Select a target on the camera and the Dragonfish will automatically fly to the selected location and orbit the subject.

• Mission Management: Monitor past missions and assign flights.

• Quick Mission: Set points of interest on the flight map during any part of the mission and the Dragonfish automatically will deviate from its original path plan to pursue the pilot's needs.

Compact And Portable

With its innovative quick-release design and a speedy self-check,
the Dragonfish can be in the air and mission ready within 5 minutes.

  • The Dragonfish can be easily disassembled by a single person and fits into the trunk of any average-sized car. The entire system can be assembled without tools and ready to fly in less than 5 minutes.

    Quick-release blade design makes assembly simple and convenient.

Safety Mechanisms

GPS Loss Protection

If GPS signal is lost, the aircraft will automatically land at its current location.

Low Battery Protection

When the aircraft's battery reaches the set threshold, the pilot will receive a low battery warning, and the aircraft will start to return home automatically. Once the battery level has reached 15%, the pilot will receive a critical power warning, and the aircraft will automatically land on the spot.

Lost Signal Protection

If communication between the aircraft and the ground station is interrupted, the aircraft will use its GPS signal to return home automatically.

Why choose Autel Dragonfish

  • Less training needed

    No need for launchers, slingshots, throwing, parachutes.

  • Easy to fly

    Take off anywhere, anytime.

  • Easy to transport

    Dragonfish fits in the back of any car/SUV.

  • Maintenance-free

    Unlike helicopters or other aerial solutions, there’s no need for costly maintenance activities, like oil changes.

  • Low noise
