Yuneec H520E

Drone hexacopter

Designed specifically for commercial drone applications, the H520E hexacopter provides SAR ground teams, inspectors, police, firefighters and surveying teams with a versatile tool. The H520E is a robust, powerful and flexible UAV platform that can be ideally adapted to individual requirements, enabling a variety of industry-specific applications. Long flight times and high-performance camera systems with built-in GPS data ensure that an area can be recorded quickly and accurately, while the interference-free precision compass enables even in previously difficult to fly environments. In addition to performance and flexibility, much emphasis was placed on the drone's flight and data security during platform development.

Features of the H520E drone hexacopter

The H520E and H520E-RTK which were released in November 2020, feature Yuneec's latest Hexacopter system that offers users longer range, more computing power, accurate navigation and even greater reliability.

Developed for industrial use and ambitious professionals

The H520E / RTK is designed with the inspection industry in mind in combination with a six-rotor system which enables stable, accurate flight. Long-focal length camera lenses allow the sUAS to fly at greater distances from an object and data storage that can be shared instantly from the ST16S / E ground station or delivered directly in 4K / 2K / HD video or 20 Mp still images.

Reliable, stable and accurate

Even in a high wind environment, the Yuneec H520E sUAS system can maintain its position, allowing smooth flight planning even when a manned inspection would be considered unsafe. Exclusive speed control provides the lowest flight speed for maximum precision in crowded environments. The H520E / RTK's landing gear can be retracted for a 330° camera rotation after which the drone will automatically rotate to provide a 360° shot of the environment.

No transfer to remote servers

Your data is yours. The H520E hexacopter and the ST16S / E remote control communicate directly, so there is no data transfer to servers anywhere in the world. Flight data, as well as images, videos or log files, are not forwarded to external servers and remain in your possession. Thus, your data is optimally protected.

Orbit Flight

Orbit Flight mode lets the H520E circle around the pilot/remote at a user-defined distance, always pointing the camera towards the centre of the circle.

Hot-swappable payload options

All our H520E / RTK cameras are hot-swap-compatible on our sUAS platforms, saving significant time by eliminating the need to shut down or reboot the system. This also ensures consistency of data storage instead of using multiple storage devices and locations. Whether thermal imaging, long focal length or capturing data over a wide focal length, memory cards can be swapped from device to device.

ST16S/E All-in-one controller

The ST16S/E ground station is an all-encompassing transmitter and receiver that gives you full control of the H520E / 520 during a flight, allowing users to take excellent photos and videos. With a large 7-inch integrated screen, the Android-based ST16S / E controller displays real-time images of your flight, eliminating the need for an external device. You can also use the ST16S / E as a mission planner. Plan your flight using the touchscreen and execute your mission with just a single touch of a button.

Yuneec DataPilot™

The Yuneec DataPilotTM software system allows users to efficiently and consistently crop orthomaps, 3D scans and data images for repeatable, callable flight paths, without the need for expensive third-party software. Missions/flights can be saved for later repeat flights, or scheduled off-site and transported to the operating system via e-mail, thumbdrive or micro-SD card. DataPilot automatically generates survey paths with user-defined front flap / side edge and shading for accurate 3D or large-format image output. DataPilot also enables storage / caching of maps from many map providers for access in areas without connectivity, and provides tools for accurate waypoint placement even in areas where no updated maps are available.

Yuneec UpdatePilot

Stay up-to-date with the YUNEEC UpdatePilot for the H520E with E90X camera. Available on the Google Play Store, the app allows you to check and automatically update your drone to the latest software version. After opening the app, selecting wifi and camera, you can search for software updates with a single click on the "Check app version" button and automatically download and install the latest update if necessary. Make sure the H520E is switched on. Please note that the YUNEEC UpdatePilot can only be installed on the ST16E and a micro SD card must be inserted into the camera to perform the updates. Currently, the YUNEEC UpdatePilot is only available for the H520E with E90X camera.
