The Gatewing X100. Taking mapping to the next level.

Imagine being able to achieve highly accurate mapping, whenever and wherever needed, even in less than favourable weather conditions (wind, light rain, cloud cover) where conventional photogrammetry may not be possible, while keeping both feet firmly on the ground. All this is now available at a reasonable price.

Introducing the Gatewing X100 revolutionary aerial mapping and surveying system.

X100 image acquisition

Image acquisition with the X100 is aerial mapping in your hands. A predefined area is covered through parallel sweeps and consecutive, overlapping camera shots. The flight is fully automated from launch to landing. The ground control station (GCS) is used to monitor the flight and allows an on-site image quality check. In case of an emergency, it provides the operator with the option to intervene and abort the flight if needed. However, in these rare cases, pre-programmed fail-safe procedures will usually take over and ensure a safe touch-down.

The obtained data set consists of a number of pictures that are tagged with the GPS coordinates of the location where each picture was taken. The total number of pictures will depend on the size of the area covered and on the required resolution.

Engineering of the X100

The X100 is the result of a thorough and multidisciplinary engineering process. It has been designed with two main goals in mind and with due consideration for the demanding field worker.

It carries a camera payload, flies in a straight and regular scan pattern and returns to the operator in a safe and shock-free manner. It completes the job under a wide range of weather and environmental conditions.
It allows for day-to-day handling and intensive use, just like any other surveying device. We conceived the X100 not merely as an unmanned aircraft, but as a comprehensive tool!

Through its optimized and unparalleled aerodynamic design, cleverly engineered body structure and carefully chosen materials, the X100 meets all the requirements perfectly.
