Arace Griffin Pro

The VTOL system you have been searching for.

Ease of use meets unparalleled performance

The ARACE GRIFFIN Pro is a fully electric, fully autonomous VTOL platform designed for unmatched ease and performance in any environment. With its innovative tilt-rotor design, the Griffin Pro achieves remarkable wind resistance, withstanding speeds over 16 m/s—setting it apart from all other VTOLs. Designed for rapid deployment, it can be assembled and launched by a single person in under 2 minutes, requiring no tools and zero pre-flight calibration. Compact enough to fit in a single carry case, the Griffin Pro is ready to go wherever your mission takes you.

Game changing technology

Built with aerospace-grade composites and durable, high-density foam, the Griffin Pro is both rugged and lightweight. This design enhances handleability and repairability, ensuring consistent performance in harsh environments.

The Griffin Pro’s tilt-rotor system seamlessly transitions between vertical takeoff, hover, and efficient forward flight. This innovative design combines the agility of a multirotor with the range and speed of fixed-wing aircraft, making it ideal for diverse mission profiles.

The Griffin Pro optimises its return-to-base profile using real-time wind speed and direction data. With advanced autonomous decision-making, operators simply plan their mission, and the Griffin Pro ensures a safe and efficient return, even in challenging conditions.

Powered by next-generation semi-solid lithium batteries, the Griffin Pro delivers exceptional energy density and extended flight times. These batteries provide consistent performance, even in extreme temperatures, ensuring mission success.

Featuring an innovative retractable payload bay, the Griffin Pro protects sensitive equipment during takeoff, landing, and transit. This design enhances aerodynamics and safeguards critical sensors in the field.

Maximise operational flexibility with the Griffin Pro’s modular payload system. Quickly swap between sensors, cameras, or other equipment to adapt to any mission requirement without sacrificing downtime.

Designed with simplicity in mind, the Griffin Pro features field-serviceable actuators and propellers. This ensures minimal disruption to operations and allows users to perform essential maintenance tasks directly in the field.

The Griffin Pro’s open architecture, powered by the versatile and widely adopted ArduPilot platform, fosters seamless third-party hardware and software integration. Customise and scale its capabilities to meet specific mission objectives or integrate effortlessly into existing workflows.
