HK-G18
Hybrid VTOL endurance UAV
Aerodynamic precision meets vertical versatility.
The HK-G18 is a high-efficiency hybrid UAV that combines the advantages of a fixed-wing and quadcopter design. Engineered for both vertical takeoff and long-range cruising, it offers exceptional flexibility with low site requirements and superior aerodynamic performance. Its streamlined fuselage and rear-mounted propulsion system maximize airflow efficiency and reduce drag, resulting in stable, extended flight times. Built from lightweight carbon fiber composites, the HK-G18 supports fully autonomous operations, delivering reliable mission performance for mapping, monitoring, and surveillance applications.
