Skywing-90
Skywing 90 – Precision. Performance. Endurance.
Skywing 90 stands as DroneVation’s flagship multirotor platform—an advanced aerial system built for professional survey & mapping, inspection, monitoring, and security & surveillance operations. Designed, engineered, and manufactured under DroneVation’s vertically integrated AKSI ecosystem, Skywing 90 brings together indigenous propulsion systems, flight controllers, and smart batteries into a single, high-performance UAV platform trusted by professionals across domains.
Available in two configurations—Foldable and Unfoldable—Skywing 90 delivers unmatched flexibility:
-
The Foldable variant prioritises mobility and rapid deployment, allowing field teams to assemble and launch the drone within minutes.
-
The Unfoldable variant offers enhanced rigidity, wind resistance, and payload capacity, ideal for long-duration or high-precision missions.
With a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 6 kg and a useful payload of up to 1 kg, Skywing 90 ensures mission versatility—from high-resolution orthomosaic mapping to infrastructure and industrial surveillance. Its custom high-efficiency propulsion system, optimized for lift-to-drag balance, ensures up to 90 minutes of endurance under standard flight conditions.
Key Highlights
Description
The UAV’s aerospace-grade carbon-fiber composite airframe, developed and fabricated in-house by RoboClave Composites, provides exceptional stiffness and low vibration—critical for aerial imaging and precision sensor performance. The quick-mount gimbal interface supports a range of payloads including RGB, thermal, and LiDAR sensors, with vibration isolation ensuring sharp and distortion-free imagery.
Skywing 90 operates on DroneVation’s KKA Flight Controller, a next-generation autopilot system with multiple flight modes—Stabilize, Loiter, Auto, and RTL—and integrated safety layers like geofencing, failsafe return, and mission recovery. Combined with dual GPS-Compass redundancy and RTK/PPK-enabled positioning, it achieves centimeter-level accuracy, making it ideal for survey-grade deliverables.
Communication reliability is ensured through dual-link telemetry with a range of up to 15 km, while the smart Li-ion battery system from LiHi Energy provides real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and temperature for operational safety and extended life cycles.
The Foldable Skywing 90 caters to teams needing portability and quick transitions between sites, while the Unfoldable model is tailored for operations demanding maximum stability and extended endurance.
Designed, tested, and produced entirely within the AKSI ecosystem, Skywing 90 represents India’s vision of self-reliant UAV technology—delivering precision, endurance, and trust in every mission.
