The Dragonfish Standard

Purpose-built for extended ISR, mapping, and inspection missions, the Autel Dragonfish Standard combines fixed-wing efficiency with vertical takeoff and landing — no launcher, runway, or parachute required. Assemble solo, no tools needed, and be airborne in under 5 minutes.

Ordering & Lead Time

The Dragonfish Standard is available to order now. Due to inventory allocation at the Autel warehouse, fulfillment timelines vary and may extend up to 6 months depending on current stock. We strongly recommend contacting Agri Spray Drones before placing your order to confirm availability and get a realistic delivery estimate.

Key Highlights

126-Minute Flight Time with Payload The Dragonfish Standard delivers up to 126 minutes of endurance while carrying a mission payload — tested at average cruise speed of 18 m/s with 5% battery reserve on return.

Tilt-Rotor VTOL Architecture Launches and recovers vertically like a quadcopter. Transitions automatically to fixed-wing cruise for maximum range and efficiency. If fixed-wing flight becomes unsustainable, the aircraft automatically reverts to multi-rotor mode.

RTK Dual-Module Precision Two onboard RTK modules provide centimeter-level positioning when paired with a GNSS base station: 1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal and 1.5 cm + 1 ppm vertical in multi-rotor mode. Dual units provide mutual backup and improve image metadata quality.

Interchangeable Payload System Supports toolless payload swaps across Z2, T3, T3H, L20T, and M1 gimbals. Payloads are cross-compatible with Dragonfish Lite and Pro to protect your investment.

Dual-Redundant Systems Redundant battery, barometer, positioning, compass, and IMU. Dual-redundant CAN bus communication. Automatic return-to-home on signal loss, GPS loss, or low battery.

30 m/s Max Speed | 15 m/s Wind Resistance Transitions from multi-rotor (0–17 m/s) to fixed-wing cruise (17–30 m/s) seamlessly. Handles up to 15 m/s sustained wind in fixed-wing mode.

6,000 m Service Ceiling Operates in high-altitude environments with full redundancy intact.

18.6-Mile Transmission Range With the included Autel Ground Control Station and base station relay. Direct GCS-to-aircraft: 6.2 miles. GCS features a 9.7" 1,000-nit sunlight-readable touchscreen with Samsung Exynos eight-core processor, 256 GB internal storage, and 4.5-hour battery life.

IP43 Weather Protection | Carbon Fiber Core Wind resistance rated to Level 6. Operates from -20°C to 50°C.

Autel Voyager Mission Software Pre-loaded on the GCS. Supports waypoint, polygon, and rectangular autonomous missions. Includes AI tracking, terrain follow, point-of-interest orbit, quick mission deviation, and flight history logging.
