Based on the successful Nimbus VTOL V1.0 - V2.0, we took feedback from our engineering team, along with customers across the country, and around the world, to make the Nimbus VTOL V2.1 our best Nimbus VTOL drone yet!
The Nimbus VTOL is one of our most popular models due to its ease of use, offering the simplicity of vertical take off and landing, without the need for a long landing strip, while offering the endurance benefits of a fixed wing once airborne.
The Nimbus VTOL features a sophisticated design, that is durable, efficient, and easy to repair in the event of damage. The easily detachable parts throughout make it quick and easy to disassemble for transport, or replace parts that get damaged.
There are a number of technological improvement throughout the V2.1, chief among them an Australian RFD radio system that has increased the range of the Nimbus VTOL to 12 miles (20km). A new ADS-B module allows you to see aircraft within a 30 mile range of the drone on the Mission Planner screen, ensuring safety when flying beyond line of sight. New CREE LED lights with a range of 3 miles also make the Nimbus VTOL clearly visible to the operator on the ground and other aircraft in the sky.
Our Nimbus VTOL Drone is highly customizable to meet the end users requirements. The base model has a 1800mm wingspan, a range of approximately 12 miles (20 km), and can fly for around 60 minutes continuously depending on the operating conditions and payload. It is powered by a Made In USA Pixhawk flight controller and can be configured with either Arupilot (default & recommended), or PX4 upon request.

With the Pixhawk flight controller system, the operator can program waypoints and flight plans into the drone before takeoff. The high quality Made In USA Pixhawk flight controller features manual flying modes, stabilize mode, and a (fail-safe function) return to home mode in addition to the autonomous mode. The drone can be piloted with the included controller when flying manually or via a laptop or tablet utilizing the Mission Planner software when flying autonomously.
Using an Australian Long Range Radio Telemetry System, the Nimbus VTOL boasts a range of 12 miles (20km). The reliable data link system allows control from a laptop base station running either Mission Planner or Q Ground Control. Manage flight plans, drone settings, telemetry, and more all from up to 12 miles (20km) away.
The Nimbus VTOL comes equipped with a U.S Made 1090 ADS-B module. This high quality ADS-B module can pick up and display all aircraft within a 30 mile (48km) radius of the Nimbus VTOL. The aircraft and information about them will be displayed on the Mission Planner screen, ensuring you can take advantage of the range offered by the Nimbus VTOL and have peace of mind knowing what other aircraft are sharing the airspace around you.
The Nimbus VTOL benefits from the ease of use of a multirotor drone and the long endurance of a fixed wing. No need for long strips of land for takeoff and landing - take off and land vertically, and once in the air transition into winged flight mode.
This setup allows you to have long flight times, giving the Nimbus VTOL up to 60 minutes flight time with a range of 12 miles (20km).
The Nimbus VTOL Drone features 3 integrated CREE LED lights, that make it visible with a 3 mile (4.8km) range. These powerful LED lights ensure easy visibility of the Nimbus VTOL Drone from the ground, and also makes it clearly visible to other aircraft in the vicinity. There is a red light on the left, a green light on the right, and a white light on the bottom.
Draw route plans using a Google Maps interface and monitor crucial telemetry information in real time with Mission Planner software for PC or MAC. Live telemetry and flight data is displayed on the Mission Planner home screen, allowing you to control and monitor the Nimbus VTOL Drone and its systems as it flies.
In addition, you can configure APM settings for your airframe in the software, and download mission log files to analyze them. The Mission Planner software is open source, and always being updated and improved by thousands of contributors around the world.
