The Y-1 is the high-performance aerial platform at the heart of the Farsight System, also capable of operating as a standalone solution. It masterfully combines the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) flexibility of multi-rotors with the long endurance, high speed, and stability of a fixed-wing aircraft. Engineered for professional surveying, mapping, and inspection, its robust payload capacity and extended flight time make it ideal for the most demanding large-area missions.

Technical Specifications

 Core  Advantages

Long Endurance · Wide Coverage： With 180-minute ultra-long endurance (far exceeding traditional multi-rotor UAVs, usually within 30 minutes), it can cover 30km² per flight. When integrated with the Farsight System, it supports a total coverage area of over 3,000 km², completing efficient large-scale data collection and significantly improving operation efficiency.

Heavy Payload · Multi-Adaptability：The 5kg standard payload supports simultaneous mounting of multiple types of equipment such as panorama cameras, LiDAR scanners, and hyperspectral cameras, which can be flexibly combined according to scenario needs to achieve "one flight, multiple data" collection.

High Precision · High Definition：Centimeter-level positioning and precise heading control ensure the fineness of image metadata. Equipped with a 420MP panorama camera, the ground resolution is better than 10cm at a flight altitude of 600m, and a single 900MP photo can clearly capture subtle targets.

High Reliability · Anti-Interference：Adopting a strong anti-interference communication design, it can stably transmit data in complex electromagnetic environments. Equipped with an intelligent parachute system supporting dual modes of flight control opening and autonomous opening, it maximizes flight safety and equipment integrity.

Flexible Takeoff/Landing · Full-Scenario AdaptationThe VTOL fixed-wing design does not require a dedicated runway and can take off and land autonomously in narrow spaces, adapting to various terrains such as mountains, plains, and coastal areas. It realizes full-region unattended operations when combined with the UAV Smart Hanger.

HD Image Transmission · Real-Time Response：The 30-50km HD image transmission supports 4K 60X zoom real-time feedback. In emergency scenarios, it can quickly approach the target area to achieve real-time monitoring and remote shouting for events such as fires, landslides, and illegal operations.

Applications

Automated Power Grid Inspection & Maintenance: The premier platform for power line corridor and asset inspection. It performs automated, comprehensive patrols, using LiDAR for vegetation encroachment management, thermal imaging to identify overheating components, and ultra-high-resolution visuals to document the condition of conductors, insulators, and towers, enabling a shift to predictive maintenance.

Large-Scale Surveying & High-Fidelity 3D Mapping: Ideal for creating extensive topographic maps, digital terrain models (DTMs), and millimeter-accurate 3D city models or digital twins. The fusion of high-density LiDAR and multiple high-resolution camera data provides an unmatched level of detail for urban planning, construction, and smart city management.

Precision Agriculture & Environmental Monitoring: The capability to carry multispectral/hyperspectral cameras (280 channels) and thermal sensors makes it perfect for large-scale crop health analysis, soil condition assessment, water resource management, and ecosystem monitoring, supporting sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

Public Safety, Emergency Response & Security: Provides critical, rapid situational awareness. Applications include search and rescue using thermal imaging, disaster damage assessment via rapid 3D mapping, firefighting support through perimeter monitoring, and large-scale area surveillance with long-endurance, real-time HD video feeds.
