Created with manned aviation in mind
Instead of an Toy/RC mindset, our engineers have an aviation background and ensure an aviation grade production quality with multi redundant systems and a certified autopilot.
Unique features allow to meet and exceed the new and upcoming rules of EASA and FAA. An invaluable advantage, especially today, when UAV applications are emerging in urban regions.
System Inherent Safety
The possibility for an Autonomous Autorotation Emergency Landing, an emergency battery system, and a glide ratio of 10 sum up to a unique feature allowing a GT20 even if main energy or motor is lost to autonomously travel and land vertically at a pre defined landing site that can be up to 10 times as far away as the flying height of the UAV is.
A great and unique feature that allows a safe, precise and controlled landing. This property is essentially a natural system inherent one, which is given by the aerodynamic structure and the functionality of the gyrocopter.

- Night Flight capability
The GT20 is stronger (up to 5kg; 11lbs mission payload (GT25: 9kg; 20lbs)***, faster (up to 150km/h) and and more persistent (more than 2 hours flight time*/**) than multicopters and can, in contrast to a VTOL Fixed Wing start, hover and land multiple times during one mission. From medical transport to gas line inspection, from extensive LiDAR supported mapping to search and rescue missions, with GT20/GT25, classic commercial drone missions now reach their next level and its operators have all the options for completely new use cases and applications.
Even more impressive than its pure power is the incredibly high operational readiness. GT20 and GT25 are 24/7 all-weather UAVs and defiy wind up to BFT8 as well as hot or wet weather (IPX5 water resistant electronics). Even on a stormy and rainy night, the Gyrotraks reach their destination. A clear advantage for the operator who is able to perform missions a lot more often than conventional drone pilots.
Unlike traditional drones GT20 and GT25 are developed from ground up for missions beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS).

SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE AND SUSTAINABILITY
- Very low noise emission
- Full Electric Drive
- Low maintenance and operation cost
- No local air pollution
- Refurbishable batteries
- Efficient operation with low energy consumption
- Known and accepted single rotor form factor
- Ability to replace certain manned helicopter missions
Sustainable Operation.
While social acceptance and sustainability currently only play a subordinate role for most drone manufacturers, we believe that this is highly relevant today and in the future. GT20’s Gyrocopter DNA and aerodynamic shape take care for an efficient operation with a low energy consumption, especially in forward flight with a decoupled main engine. Together with its full electric drive, the GT20 allows for a low energy sustainable operation.
Even the energy cells of the battery can be refurbished in-house and used in missions with lower energy requirements.
High social acceptance
Its well-known single-rotor shape does not arouse negative associations, like a multi-rotor drone, because single rotors are known from helicopters in the sky. The purely electric drive of the GT20 has several advantages: It does not cause any local pollution, is in connection with the drive concept very quiet and also ensures low maintenance effort and costs. For these reasons and because it even has the potential to replace some very noisy and environmentally harmful missions of man-carrying helicopters.

Customizability
- Payload bay tailored to the customer’s needs

Tailored to your needs
While the option for several and multiple cameras with different specializations is not too extraordinary, the sheer mass of options from FLARM to ADS-B, from FPV to UTM is. We will even integrate the payload of our customer’s choice. A GT20 can be tailored to the exact needs of the customer down to the form and function of the payload bay.
Your choice of battery and style
Our customers have the option to chose any RAL color combination and add their logos to the machine to seamlessly integrate it’s style into an existing fleet of drones, cars or manned aircraft.

Built for BVLOS
MISSIONS BEYOND VISUAL LINE OF SIGHT BVLOS
BVLOS Missions have very special requirements for the aircraft. This includes reliable communication over several hundred kilometers, integration into regular airspace, communication with manned aircraft and autonomous emergency programs that react in the event of an incident in a way that protects people and the environment. All of these features, together with low noise emissions and low energy consumption, characterize the GT20 (optional extras required)
THE GYROCOPTER PRINCIPLE
It was in January 1923, when Spanish Engineer and Aviation enthusiast Juan de la Cierva first flew his own creation at Cuarto Vientos Airfield in Madrid. His target was to invent an aircraft that would fly safely at low speed and could not stall.
Today, a gyrocopter is considered the safest of all aircraft concepts.
A Gyrocopter makes use of the airflow to rotate the main rotor and generate lift (Autorotation).
The result is a very low energy consumption in fast forward flight.
The Gyrotrak behaves like a Gyrocopter in fast forward and like a helicopter in vertical starting, landing and during hovering.
Autorotation
Emergency Landing
In the unlikely event of a loss of main energy, the GT20 Gyrotrak is able to fly to a pre defined landing site and land autonomously. The emergency landing site distance can be up to 10 times the Gyrotrak’s altitude. With an altitude difference from flight level to landing site of 400m, the landing site can be up to 4km away (without wind).
LIDAR INTEGRATION
The seamless integration of a RIEGL VUX-120 and other LiDAR scanners makes GT25 a perfect machine for large scale mapping operations. The VUX LiDAR’s power supply comes directly from the GT25 battery.

Operation Polar Bear
An intense November week in North Dakota is behind us with temperatures well below freezing and wind speeds of an official winter storm. In numerous demo flights and test series, the GT25 has shown what it is able to do even under the most adverse conditions. We are proud of the machine and proud of our team, who, despite the freezing cold, went through their program with great motivation! Thank you to each and every one of you, to the people who ventured out to see the GT25 in action, and to University of North Dakota for the amazing support.

MULTIPLE TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS
Due to the aerodynamical construction of Gyrotrak and its unique Gyrocopter mode, the UAV has a wide range and very long flight times. But unlike a VTOL fixed wing drone, it is capable of multiple takeoffs and landings as well as unlimited hovering during one mission.
DAY AND NIGHT OPERATIONAL
With its optional night flight equipment and its BVLOS abilities, the GT20 is able to perform missions during day and night time. The available low light and thermal cameras as well as the landing spotlight reduce the stress of night operations
ALL WEATHER CAPABILITY
Gyrotraks are known for their legendary wind resistance including high gusts. In constant to VTOL fixed wing drones, Gyrotraks are stable in harsh weather conditions especially during takeoff, landing and hovering. With its IPX5 protection class, Gyrotrak is also capable of operating in rain.
