Additional options

The list of additional options for Typhoon H520 also includes (purchased separately):

Camera E50 - a camera with a medium focal length (40mm), which is based on a high quality 1 / 2.3-inch CMOS sensor capable of capturing still images with a resolution of 12MP. The camera lens consists of ten lenses with low distortion and minimum dispersion. Adapted for use with standard 30mm filters. The E50 camera is ideal for inspection and monitoring of cell towers, wind turbines, oil platforms, and more. Allows for detailed shooting of objects at a safe distance from them.

CGO-ET RGB camera with thermal imager - simultaneously records two video streams, in the infrared spectrum and in normal mode, thanks to its high light sensitivity (20 times higher than the human eye), it takes high-quality photo and video material even in low light conditions. The resulting video is displayed on the user's screen in the picture-in-picture mode. As a result, the CGO-ET camera becomes an effective tool in emergency situations, for search and rescue of people, law enforcement, firefighting, construction, maintenance of solar panels, etc.

The E90 is a high-speed, high-resolution wide-angle camera (up to 4K @ 60FPS) suspended from a precision brushless gimbal. Ideal for high quality photos and videos. At the heart of the camera is a 20MP 1-inch sensor and the latest generation of high-speed image processing chip H2. The E90 is ideal for monitoring high-traffic areas, search and rescue operations and 3-D mapping / modeling. Its capabilities will also be appreciated by professionals in the field of video broadcasting, as well as in the photo video industry for high-speed shooting and accurate color reproduction.

Vision system Intel RealSense R200 camera with a separate Intel Atom power supply module together with a pair of ultrasonic sensors - provides the drone with the ability to detect obstacles (realizes an accurate 3D copy of the model of the surrounding world) and intelligently fly around them.

About the product

Yuneec Typhoon H520 is a commercial version of the famous hexacopter. The ideal solution for long flights as well as proven and reliable technology in one package.

Difference

Unlike the basic predecessor Typhoon H, the 520th received completely new electronics, software, longer beams, larger rotors with a reduced noise level and a quick release mechanism, modified the BK- motors, as a result, it was possible to achieve an increase in lift and now the drone can carry more additional equipment on board, and thanks to a new power source, the flight time was increased to 30 minutes. Otherwise, the drones are the same.

According to the developer, the main efforts were aimed at protecting the electronic compass, now the H520 has become even more reliable.

Applications

Overall, this hexacopter is uncompromising in quality and ideal for everyday use. With Waypoint technology, 2D and 3D geocopying capabilities, SDK and APIsupport,make the Yuneec Typhoon H520 an ideal solution. for industrial use.

Appearance

Motors

As mentioned above, Yuneec Typhoon H520 received modified BC motors - BL3210 740KV (850KV on Typhoon H (PRO)). By increasing the length of the beams, the size and shape of the rotor, the manufacturer assures that the H520 has become quieter, is able to carry more additional load, and thanks to the "5 motors" mode, the drone has become even more reliable and is able to fly safely in case of failure of one of the six el. engines.

Camera

In stock Typhoon H520 is equipped with the same 12MP CGO3 4K camera on 3-axis gimbal

Power supply

Hexacopter H520 is equipped with an improved high performance HV-battery - 4S 6850mAh 7C LiPo (versus 4S 14.8V 5400mAh 8C 79.9Wh LiPo on Typhoon H). Provides continuous flight for up to 30 minutes (versus 25 minutes for Typhoon H).

Hardware

The well-proven ST16 hardware has undergone an upgrade that adds another “S” to the model abbreviation. The developer has worked on the stability of the connection by installing two 2.4GHz antennas and one separate improved 5.8GHz antenna under the video link. The ST16S ground station also received a new powerful Intel Quadcore processor and a classic 7-inch LSD monitor. Everything works on Android OS.

Flight modes

Hexacopter H520 inherited all 6 programmed modes from drone with letter “H”:

  1. Orbit Me
  2. Point of Interest
  3. Journey
  4. Curve Cable Cam
  5. Follow me Watch Me
  6. Return to home

Price

Depending on the configuration, the price of Yuneec Typhoon H520 will range from $ 1999 to $ 4699. As for cameras, the price of a CGO-ET camera with a thermal imager is $ 2,242, E50 -$ 1099.99, E90 -$ 1299.99...

Conclusion

The manufacturer positions the Yuneec Typhoon H520 as a completely new product. As a result, we received a modified H-version of the drone for commercial use, taking into account additionally purchased options. In general, as always, a high-quality product from a well-known UAV manufacturer and in any case it deserves attention.
