ALTI ACSENT VTOL UAV for sale. Used but in great condition.

This ALTI Ascend is a small and ultra-compact endurance VTOL fixed-wing hybrid, with a wingspan of 2 meters, the capability of covering a massive distance of 450 km, and endurance of up to 6 hours in a single flight.

The Ascend powers its 4l brushless motors using batteries and its forward fixed-wing flight with an incredibly reliable 14cc EFI combustion engine capable of delivering flight speeds of up to 75km/h.

The combination of a sophisticated data-link and market-leading antenna systems that deliver telemetry and realtime video footage to the ground control station operator during flight, makes the ALTI Ascend the ideal aircraft for all day, everyday commercial use.

This Alti Ascend was deployed in Misool as part of ALTI and the Misool Foundation's long term conservation project working long-range patrols in the greater Misool area of southern Raja Ampat in Indonesia over a 1 200 square kilometre area.

  • Forward Flight: Transitioning to forward flight engages a highly reliable 14cc EFI
    (Electronic Fuel Injection) combustion engine, maximizing aerodynamic efficiency.
VTOL System: Powered by four electric brushless motors fed by dedicated battery packs, lifting the drone safely out of tight or confined spaces.
  • Airframe: Built entirely out of lightweight carbon fiber composite, featuring tool-less quick-lock wing latches that allow a single operator to assemble and deploy the entire system in under 10 minutes.
The aircraft functions completely off-the-grid using open-source ArduPilot/ArduPlane software ecosystems, meaning it does not require an internet connection to plan or log flights.

The Ascend's small size and VTOL capabilities make it well suited for a variety of applications including conservation where limited space for take-off and landing can present a problem for conventional UAVS.

It makes the solution ideal for customers like mining sites, who must keep constant surveillance over large areas for illegal mining activity; or for pipeline workers who must monitor a route.

ALTI is also a proven tool for search and rescue applications. In Indonesia, officials use surveillance and security drones as spotters in order to identify potential problems. Greater use of surveillance tools allow for more lives saved. The drones are far less expensive than helicopter surveillance: and they keep pilots out of danger.

With extremely minimal support and upkeep costs, ALTI Ascend is competitively priced against comparable solutions at about $65,000 USD for a brand new unit that is fully equipped.

The airframe is designed with an integrated fuel tank, dihedral, washout winglets, VTOL pods, dual elevator control surfaces, quick lock tool-less wing latch, and connectors to offer the best possible endurance by having the most efficient aerofoil design for any aircraft of it size and class.

Able to vertically ascend to altitude, where it transitions into forward wing-bound flight for the duration of the mission. A smooth and level back transition into a solid hover allows the Ascend to land virtually anywhere, quickly, reliably and safely.

Price $18500 usd
