ARACE Phoenix electric tiltrotor VTOL flying above a field

ISR, surveillance and mapping

ARACE Phoenix

Persistent aerial observation from a runway-free aircraft.

The ARACE Phoenix is an electric tiltrotor VTOL developed and manufactured in Hungary for long-duration ISR, wide-area mapping and specialist sensing. It launches vertically from a compact field area, transitions to efficient wing-borne flight and accepts tool-free swappable payloads.

Where it fits

Operational use

Where this platform earns its place.

Designed for organisations that need longer observation or mapping windows than a conventional multirotor can provide, without relying on a runway.

Platform capabilities

What the system brings.

Aircraft performance becomes operational value when payload, workflow, training and support are configured together.

01

Vertical launch, efficient cruise

Phoenix uses vertical take-off and landing for confined field deployment, then transitions to fixed-wing flight for longer coverage.

02

Payload-led configuration

Tool-free payload swapping supports ISR, mapping and LiDAR configurations selected around the required operational output.

03

Electric endurance

ARACE states up to six hours of flight time, with actual endurance dependent on payload, weather, altitude and mission profile.

Configuration and support

Specify the complete working system.

Our consultation can cover aircraft, payloads, batteries, charging, software, operator readiness, maintenance planning and the mission workflow required in Malawi.

Configuration noteAll endurance, acoustic and environmental figures are manufacturer-stated. Final performance, payload, permissions, data handling and operating procedures are assessed for the intended Malawi deployment.
