Y18 VTOL Fixed Wing UAV

(Petrol Version) with 40x Three-Light AI Tracking Pod

 

The Y18 is a professional-grade petrol-powered VTOL fixed-wing UAV engineered for extreme endurance, long-range reconnaissance, and precision aerial intelligence. Constructed from aviation-grade carbon fiber composite, the Y18 combines the vertical take-off and landing convenience of a multirotor with the aerodynamic efficiency of a fixed-wing platform — delivering a staggering 1,220KM maximum range and up to 13 hours of continuous flight on a single 11L fuel load. With a streamlined rear-mounted cruise engine and propeller configuration that eliminates airflow interference over the main wings, the Y18 minimizes drag while maximizing payload capacity up to 18KG. Integrated with the 40x Three-Light AI Tracking Pod featuring visible light, thermal imaging, and laser ranging, the Y18 is purpose-built for border surveillance, disaster response, infrastructure inspection, and high-stakes reconnaissance — operating reliably across altitudes up to 5,000M and temperatures from -20°C to 45°C.

Y18: A New Standard in Long-Range VTOL

Y18: A New Standard in Long-Range VTOL

The Y18 is a professional petrol-powered VTOL fixed-wing UAV that eliminates the trade-off between endurance and flexibility. Built for operators who cannot afford gaps in coverage, it delivers mission-grade performance across defense, surveillance, and critical infrastructure — right out of the flight case.

This petrol-powered system features an 11-liter fuel tank, enabling up to 13 hours of uninterrupted flight and a maximum range of 1,220 km on a single fuel load. With VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) capability, it requires no runway and can be deployed from virtually any open area. It supports a maximum combined fuel and payload capacity of 18 kg, while its aviation-grade carbon fiber composite airframe keeps the total take-off weight at just 40 kg. A dedicated flight case is also included, allowing for quick and efficient deployment in the field.

Rear-Mounted Propulsion, Carbon Fiber Airframe, and 13-Hour Petrol Endurance That Redefines What a Fixed-Wing UAV Can Achieve

The Y18 is built around one principle — more performance, less compromise. From its rear-mounted engine that keeps the main wing airflow clean, to its carbon fiber body that keeps weight low, every feature serves a measurable operational advantage.

The rear-mounted cruise engine design eliminates propeller wash over the main wings, significantly reducing drag and improving aerodynamic efficiency. Its aviation-grade carbon fiber composite body is both strong and lightweight, optimized for high-speed cruising. The system cruises at 25 m/s, with a safe operating speed range between 22 and 40 m/s. Built for reliability in diverse conditions, it features IPX4 weather protection and can withstand wind resistance up to Level 5 during take-off and landing and Level 6 in flight. Additionally, it operates effectively in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 45°C and can reach altitudes of up to 5,000 meters.

From Border Patrol to Disaster Relief

From Border Patrol to Disaster Relief

Y18 VTOL Transforms Critical Operations Across Defense, Infrastructure, and Emergency Response Missions.

The Y18 is not designed for one mission — it is designed for any mission that demands long presence, wide coverage, and reliable intelligence. Its combination of endurance, VTOL flexibility, and AI sensing makes it deployable across an unusually broad range of critical operations.

Designed for versatile mission profiles, this platform excels in border surveillance by continuously monitoring vast territories with a 100 km link range. In disaster response scenarios, it can launch vertically from confined spaces and remain on station for an entire operational shift. It is equally effective for infrastructure inspection, enabling rapid surveys of pipelines, power lines, and rail corridors at scale within hours. For maritime patrol, it helps track unauthorized vessels and identify distress situations across expansive zones. In search and rescue operations, its AI-powered multi-target tracking can simultaneously monitor up to 20 survivors, while for environmental monitoring, it supports large-area mapping of deforestation, crop health assessment, and wildlife corridor tracking.

Detect at 20KM, Recognize at 11KM, Track with AI Precision — Real-World Scenarios Where the Y18 and Its 40x Three-Light Pod Deliver Mission Success

The 40x Three-Light Pod turns every flight into an actionable intelligence mission. Its detection distances, AI tracking accuracy, and all-weather sensing capability translate directly into faster decisions and better outcomes on the ground.

Equipped with advanced sensing capabilities, the system can detect vehicles at distances of up to 20 km and people at 11.1 km using a 40× optical zoom visible-light camera. Its thermal imaging system enables full night operations, identifying people at 1.7 km and vehicles at 7.4 km. A high-precision laser rangefinder provides coordinates with ±1 meter accuracy from distances of up to 3,000 meters. Powered by AI, it can simultaneously track more than 20 targets—including people, vehicles, boats, and aircraft—while maintaining a recall rate of at least 90%, ensuring continuous tracking even during dynamic maneuvers. Additionally, ground teams receive precise GPS-correlated target data, enabling faster and more effective response in the field.

AI Tracking Algorithms, Multi-Sensor Fusion, and Anti-Interference Communication Stack Powering the Future of Aerial Surveillance

The Y18 brings together aerodynamic engineering, multi-sensor fusion, and hardened AI tracking into one cohesive platform. Each technology layer is purpose-built for professional-grade reliability — not just in ideal conditions, but in the field.

The platform’s clean-wing rear-propulsion design improves lift-to-drag ratio and cruise efficiency, while its three-sensor gimbal integrates visible, thermal, and laser systems for complete situational awareness. It supports dual tracking modes—up to 50 FPS for single targets and 20+ objects at ≥20 FPS—along with H.264/H.265 video streaming via RTSP, RTMP, TS, and UDP. A 100 km anti-interference data link ensures reliability, and the 360° rotating servo gimbal maintains stable tracking in all flight conditions.

  • What makes the Y18 different from battery-powered VTOL drones?

    The Y18 runs on a petrol engine with an 11L fuel tank, enabling up to 13 hours of continuous flight and a maximum range of 1,220KM — far beyond what any battery-powered UAV can achieve. This makes it ideal for long-endurance surveillance, border patrol, and extended reconnaissance missions where frequent landing to recharge is not operationally feasible.

  • Does the Y18 require a runway for take-off and landing?

    No. The Y18 is a true VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. It takes off and lands vertically like a multirotor, then transitions to efficient fixed-wing flight. It can operate from confined or unprepared areas while maintaining wind resistance of Level 5 during take-off/landing and Level 6 during cruise flight.

  • What does the 40x Three-Light AI Tracking Pod include?

    The pod integrates three sensors: a visible light camera (40x optical zoom, 1920×1080, detection up to 20KM for vehicles), a thermal imaging camera (640×512, 8–14μm band, detection up to 7.4KM for vehicles), and a laser rangefinder (1535nm, range 20m–3000m, ±1m accuracy). All three are AI-fused for simultaneous multi-target tracking of people, vehicles, boats, and aircraft.

  • How many targets can the AI tracking system monitor simultaneously?

    The multi-target AI tracking system can simultaneously track 20 or more targets including people, cars, boats, and airplanes. It operates at ≥20FPS update rate with ≥90% recall and ≥80% accuracy, with a minimum detectable target size of 32×32 pixels at 1080P resolution.

  • What is the maximum payload the Y18 can carry?


    The Y18 supports a maximum load capacity of 18KG (fuel + payload combined), with a full take-off weight of 40KG. The rear-mounted engine and propeller design frees up the fuselage bay for maximum payload volume, allowing operators to carry heavier sensor suites or mission equipment.
