“Thermal Intelligence, heading lock gyro, and extreme durability for safe and easy training are familiar features of the Draganflyer V Ti. Using the Draganflyer V Ti platform the V Ti Pro adds key upgrades to provide superior aerial video and exceptional pilot friendly flight.

The Draganflyer V Ti Pro VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) RC helicopter has been used by MIT as part of their UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) Swarm Health Management Project.

Amoung the upgrades on the Draganflyer V Ti Pro is a computerzed radio system featuring adjustable sensitivity and options to customize the flight characteristics. The V Ti Pro is also equipped with a high resolution CCD wireless video camera and a bracing kit on the frame to increase strength and reduce vibration.

The CCD Video Camera is coupled with a high-power transmitter to minimize video static and breakup while maximizing range and image detail. The FM video transmitter operates on the highest amateur frequency, 2.4GHz, to yield the most colors and best resolution. Transmitting at 50mW, video can be received at large distances with reduced video static. In addition, the Draganflyer V Ti Pro does not suffer from frequency drift during temperature changes. A 6 channel transmitter is included which features a switch to activate or deactivate Thermal Intelligence.”
