A fixed wing LiDAR drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology mounted on a fixed wing aircraft. This combination allows for efficient and precise aerial data collection for various applications.
Fixed wing LiDAR drones are commonly used in mapping, surveying, agriculture, forestry, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring. The LiDAR technology enables the drone to gather highly accurate 3D data of the terrain or objects below.
One of the significant advantages of fixed wing LiDAR drones is their longer flight endurance compared to multirotor drones. This extended flight time allows for covering larger areas in a single flight, making them ideal for large-scale mapping and surveying projects. Additionally, the fixed wing design provides stability and efficiency during flight.
