Swan Voyager K8T-V2

Product Introduction

The Swan Voyager K8T-V2 is an advanced VTOL fixed-wing UAV platform designed for professional aerial observation, thermal inspection, and intelligent monitoring applications. Combining vertical takeoff and landing with efficient fixed-wing cruise, it offers flexible deployment without requiring a conventional runway, with a stated flight endurance of up to 60 minutes and a video transmission range of up to 15 km.

At the core of the system is the HEQ K8T-V2 dual-sensor gimbal camera, integrating a thermal imaging sensor and an 8MP visible-light camera in a three-axis stabilized gimbal. The thermal sensor supports infrared imaging at 640 × 512 resolution, with a 1280 × 1024 thermal super-resolution mode, while the visible-light camera records 4K video at up to 30 fps.

Powered by an integrated 4 TOPS AI computing chip, the camera supports intelligent recognition and tracking of people and vehicles. These capabilities make the Swan Voyager K8T-V2 suitable for infrastructure inspection, security observation, emergency response, and other applications requiring both thermal and visible-light imagery.

The complete kit includes the Swan-K1 aircraft, K8T-V2 dual-sensor gimbal camera, display-equipped radio controller, 5500mAh flight battery, charger, and carrying case, providing an integrated platform for advanced aerial observation.
