Choose by airframe or by the work
SageTradeLink accepts aircraft sourcing inquiries by airframe, application or a written requirement. You can begin with a task even when the final model has not been selected. Exact capabilities depend on the proposed model and configuration.
Four airframe categories
| Airframe | What to discuss with a supplier |
|---|---|
| Multirotor UAV | Payload, job output, site access, takeoff and landing, maintenance and software workflow. |
| Fixed-wing UAV | Operating area, launch and recovery arrangements, task outputs, payload and support. |
| VTOL fixed-wing UAV | Vertical takeoff and landing arrangements, transition workflow, site needs and the proposed configuration. |
| Single-rotor UAV | Task, payload, platform maintenance, training and service responsibilities. |
Match the requirement to an application
- Consumer aerial photography and media production.
- FPV flight, recreation and training requirements.
- Agricultural crop-protection projects.
- Industrial inspection and engineering surveying.
- Logistics, cargo and field transport projects.
- Education, demonstrations and specialist field applications.
Compare outputs and the full delivery scope
Ask how the proposed equipment will produce the required output and connect to existing tools. Compare the exact payload, accessories, software licensing, training, acceptance process and after-sales responsibility. Request model-specific evidence for important claims.
For industrial work, define the expected data deliverable or inspection record. For agriculture, describe the field and intended task. For logistics, state the cargo, project scale and operating context.
