The VA-Y40 is a fuel-hybrid VTOL fixed-wing UAV designed for long-endurance and multi-mission operations. Built with aerospace-grade carbon fiber composites, it delivers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and reliable performance in demanding environments. With up to 10 hours of endurance and 15 kg payload capacity, the Y40 MAX supports rapid payload switching and flexible mission configurations. Advanced communication and navigation systems ensure stable operation, while optional ADS-B and simulation-enabled ground control enhance flight safety and operator readiness.
Product Overview
10H Ultra-Long Endurance
Powered by a high-efficiency hybrid engine-generator system, the VA-Y40 MAX delivers up to 10 hours of flight endurance with a 3 kg payload.
The self-starting, integrated power unit provides a 300W continuous power output, combined with an EFI system to ensure stable performance at altitudes of up to 4,000 meters.
15KG Payload Capacity
Designed as a heavy-duty VTOL fixed-wing platform, the VA-Y40 MAX supports up to 15 kg of mission payloads. With optimized aerodynamic efficiency, the UAV can still maintain up to 6 hours of endurance under full payload, enabling multi-sensor integration and complex industrial missions.
Rapid Deployment
The VA-Y40 features a modular airframe and quick-release structure, allowing assembly and pre-flight preparation to be completed within approximately 10 minutes. Its transport-friendly design enables fast deployment in remote or unprepared environments.

Payload & Configuration Options
The VA-Y40 supports flexible payload integration and mission-specific configurations to meet diverse operational requirements.
EO & IR Gimbal Payload
Modular gimbal payload supporting high-performance electro-optical (EO) and infrared (IR) sensors. Ideal for day-and-night observation, mapping, target tracking, and environmental monitoring.
Electromagnetic Launch System
Ground-based electromagnetic launch systems are ideal for operations in confined, remote, or unprepared environments where conventional launch methods are limited.
Application Scenarios
Power Line Inspection
Ideal for long-distance power line inspection, the VA-Y40 enables beyond-line-of-sight operations with stable communication and reliable flight performance.
Mapping & Surveying
Designed for large-area mapping and geospatial data collection, the VA-Y40 supports stable long-endurance flights for photogrammetry, terrain surveying, and 3D modeling.
Why Choose The VA-Y40?
Real-Time Fuel Level Measurement
Equipped with an onboard fuel measurement system, the VA-Y40 provides real-time fuel level monitoring throughout the flight. This enhances mission safety, endurance management, and operational predictability during long-range missions.
Night Flight Capability
Equipped with navigation lights and compatible with infrared thermal imaging payloads, enabling night-time reconnaissance and search-and-rescue operations.
GNSS Anti-Jamming and GNSS RTK Heading Observation
The VA-Y40 can be equipped with a four-element array antenna, providing multi-source interference resistance with anti-jamming performance up to 100 dB. It can also be fitted with an RTK-based direction-finding system to defend against magnetic field interference.
