Dragonfish Series
Command The Future
Smart. Simple. Efficient.
The Dragonfish's unique tilt-rotor design simplifies operation while maximizing performance and efficiency. With no complicated moving parts, the Dragonfish is modular, waterproof, smart, and reliable. The Dragonfish is mission ready right out of the box and includes powerful AI tracking capabilities and a multitude of modular payload options. An endurance of up to 158 minutes (including payload) further augments the Dragonfish's robust mission capabilities and pushes it significantly ahead of the competition.

Endurance With Payload
The Dragonfish series includes three models: the Dragonfish Lite, Dragonfish Standard, and Dragonfish Pro. With a flight time of 81 minutes, 126 minutes, and 158 minutes respectively while carrying a payload, each model can greatly improve work efficiency.
Safety and Redundancy
DRAGONFISH FLIGHT LOGIC
Intelligence And Autonomy: Simplify mission tasks with the Dragonfish's wide array of automated functions
Using Autel's advanced flight control technology and intelligent AI, the Dragonfish can tackle even the most complex operations.
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.

One Device. Any Mission.
Autel VoyagerIncredibly 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.
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.
The whole system self checks in 5 seconds and is ready to fly in 5 minutes.
Quick-release blade design makes assembly simple and convenient.
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.
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
