Description: 

Who are the SUI Endurance Multirotors for? Typical Endurance customers include commercial industries and government entities looking to integrate drones into their workforce. These multirotors can be used for public safety, surveillance, energy inspection, construction, precision mapping, agriculture, and more.

What is included with the Endurance? The SUI Endurance packages offer advanced autonomous capabilities. They include a foldable airframe, and an integrated GCS with 8-inch tablet, along with three batteries, charger, and wheeled, durable carrying case. Several optional customized sensor packages are available to suit your mission needs, whether they be still images or high- definition video.

The simplified Endurance LT also features a foldable frame, and the same customized sensor packages used with the fixed wing XenoFX for dual platform compatibility. It offers simplified autonomous operation using a tablet with our proprietary Mission Control software.

Where would someone use the Endurance? The SUI Endurance and Endurance LT can be used in any location. The Endurance and Endurance LT platforms allow operations in more populated/dense areas, while offering the precision needed for today’s market. A perfect example for the Endurance and Endurance LT is utility inspection.

When should someone use the Endurance? The Endurance and Endurance LT can be used any time of the day from dawn to dusk, weather permitting. The Endurance is the flexible solution for any commercial or government user needing high resolution still images, precision survey/mapping, or high-definition video. The Endurance LT is a perfect solution for those who need to accurately map or survey smaller areas where fixed wing drones are not practical.

Why is the Endurance better than its competitors? The Endurance and Endurance LT are made in America. They are compliant with any commercial or government entity. The aircraft have recently gained full approval for DOD and DOE work, making them the only drones made in the USA to gain access to restricted areas that ground most, if not all, other drones.

How does the Endurance work? Operating the Endurance LT is very simple. Simply unfold the drone, snap the battery into place, make sure the payload is secure, and program the mission using Mission Control software on the included tablet. From there the Endurance LT will fly with little to no pilot interface. Preparing the SUI Endurance is much like the LT, however, it differs by using an integrated GCS for operation. The mission setup is essentially the same through Ground Control, while the GCS gives the user more interface between the aircraft and operator. Some examples of this interface include, live video streaming, zoom control, still image/record abilities, manual flight control, and more!
