VELOS V3
Table Of Content
Velos Rotors proudly presents the Velos V3, the latest evolution in our line of UAVs. Velos V3 is a Group II unmanned helicopter (25 kg / 55 lbs) designed with a traditional rotorcraft configuration, offering versatility and reliability for a wide group of applications.
The Velos V3 features a three-bladed main rotor and a three-bladed tail rotor, supported by a durable carbon fiber fuselage with both forward and aft canopy covers. It is equipped with a three-leg landing gear system and is powered by 4 high-voltage lithium polymer battery packs (48VDC). Velos V3 utilizes a patented twin transmission design that sets a new industry standard for redundancy, reliability and safety.
Fully Redundant Twin Transmission Design
Unlike most UAV helicopters that are built with common hobby-grade parts, the Velos V3 was designed from scratch with three core objectives:
Simplicity, Efficiency, Reliability.
The patented, highly innovative twin transmission renders Velos V3 the only UAV helicopter in its class capable of tolerating a complete failure of critical components, including motor, ESC, belt, gears, bearings, main battery and servo, while still enabling a safe landing to protect both payload and surroundings under those circumstances. The system automatically isolates the faulty component without introducing additional drag to the operational part of the drivetrain. Furthermore, the key advantage of this configuration is that all critical components operate at only 50% of their maximum capacity, making the Velos V3 an exceptionally reliable aircraft.
Customization and compatibility
Our UAV is using CubePilot OrangeCube by default and can be configured with Auterion SkyNode flight controller if needed. Based on open architecture (Orange cube or Auterion) enables quick integration of additional hardware or software so that new capabilities can be rapidly deployed across the fleet and managed by operators through the same UX/UI and basic workflows. Velos V3 architecture also supports a variety of industry-leading data links that are ready for plug-and-play integration. From simple C2 operation to advanced encrypted mesh networks capable of streaming HD video together with flight data and sensor information in real-time the possibilities are endless.
Last but not least LTE, 5G and satellite module compatibility provides extended range and data failover capabilities ideal for BVLOS operations. We are offering various options at 850-900Mhz, 1.4Ghz, 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz bands. Our helicopter is controlled through a simple ground control station, which can be a laptop coupled with an RC unit or a unified rugged GCS solution, providing operators with an intuitive and effective means of managing the aircraft. The Velos V3 on the default configuration is compatible with the Mission Planner and the UgCS flight control software from SPH Engineering. Together we can configure your Velos V3 according to your needs.
Extensive range of payload capabilities
VELOS V3 PAYLOADS
The Velos Rotors V3 offers an extensive range of payload capabilities, from sensor operations to critical cargo transportation. Its simple payload rail system with a length of 55cm features M4 threaded mounting points every 40mm. This design allows seamless integration of a wide variety of payloads or sensor packages that fit within the physical dimensions of the payload area.
The following examples showcase various popular payload configurations that the Velos V3 is performing exceptionally well. Of course the aircraft is able to carry almost any payload that weighs less than 10kg. For custom integrations please contact us.
Payload Over the Rotor (POR)
The Velos V3 also provides a unique capability of carrying a Payload Over the Rotor (POR), allowing end-users to install payloads, antennas, sensors or a parachute above the main rotor system. This is also the ideal place for GNSS antennas for Lidar surveying. The POR is located on the center of gravity (CG) axis, so any payload integrated there does not affect the CG or other flight parameters.
Furthermore, the unobstructed 360º and sky views allow different configurations, such as a 360º panoramic view camera or a dual camera (one on the POR and the second one below the helicopter main body). This capability makes the Velos V3 the ideal system to perform detailed inspections in high-difficulty areas (e.g. below a bridge, in complex constructions, etc.), or filming challenging movie scenes.
