Description

The VA17 Chinese Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a long-endurance, electricity-driven, tilting fixed-wing drone with vertical take-off and landing capabilities. It boasts a flight time of up to 120 minutes and can carry a maximum load of nearly 1 kg. Equipped with an advanced power management system, the drone is designed to be both powerful and efficient. It uses lightweight and durable EPP foam material, which contributes to a lighter structure and longer flight duration. The 80A 3-in-1 high-performance electronic speed controller (ESC) demonstrates excellent overload resistance and rapid response speed. This high performance and light weight result from a compact design that achieves a 65% reduction in weight compared to traditional single ESCs. The frame is made from a combination of carbon fiber and EPP foam, providing excellent rigidity while maintaining a degree of flexibility. The onboard power management module features an 8V12A-UBEC, which delivers stable power support for the servo system. Additionally, the dual flight control backup power supply design significantly enhances flight safety and simplifies the installation process. The VA17 also incorporates a tool-free quick-disassembly design, allowing for efficient assembly and disassembly of the drone frame in under 3 minutes.
