Long-Endurance VTOL & Heavy-Lift UAVs — Antigua & Barbuda

Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing UAVs combine the runway-free launch of a multirotor with the endurance and range of an aeroplane. They are the workhorses for ISR, border patrol, mapping, pipeline and power-line inspection and long-distance logistics. FlySpark supplies airframes with autopilot, datalink and payload integration, from electric 2 m platforms to 6 m hybrid-engine aircraft.

The FW-10 Delta long-endurance fixed-wing and the Makeflyeasy Hero (2180 mm, 136 min) and Fighter (2430 mm, 155 km range) are electric VTOLs for mapping and surveillance at team level. The SkyEye SVH360 hybrid VTOL flies 6 hours; the SV293 Plus and S600 engine versions carry heavier sensors for persistent ISR; the X2400 fixed-wing VTOL offers 240 minutes of flight time. Choose by endurance, payload bay volume and the datalink range your mission needs.

Compare on endurance at mission payload (not empty), cruise speed, maximum take-off weight, wind tolerance, payload interfaces (gimbal, LiDAR, mapping camera), datalink range and autopilot ecosystem. Hybrid gasoline-electric aircraft extend endurance but add maintenance; all-electric platforms are quieter and simpler for mapping teams.

Platforms are delivered with ground control station, batteries or fuel system, spares and training. Export lead time for standard configurations is 4–8 weeks; sensors and encrypted datalinks are integrated to order.
