757 FPV raptor

757 FPV Raptor is a fixed wing UAV of 1.6 m class, and it is a developed from VolantexRC 747-2 remotely controlled model airplane, with size enlarged and photography capability added. The 757 FPV Raptor UAV is in conventional layout with shoulder wing configuration and the payload, i.e. the camera carried, is installed in the nose. Propulsion is provided by a two-blade propeller driven electric motor mounted behind the wing in pusher configuration. The wing is constructed of durable and light weight EPO.[1]

757-2 FPV raptor EX

757-2 FPV raptor EX is a development of its smaller cousin 757 FPV raptor, sharing the identical layout and constructed of the same material. 757-2 FPV raptor EX is a 2-meter class enlarged version of its smaller cousin 757 FPV raptor.[2]

757-V2 FPV raptor upgrade

757-V2 FPV raptor upgrade is a further development of its smaller cousin 757 FPV raptor, sharing the identical layout and constructed of the same material. Like its cousin 757-2 FPV raptor EX, 757-V2 FPV raptor upgrade is also a 2-meter class enlarged version of its smaller cousin 757 FPV raptor. In comparison to 757-2 FPV raptor EX, 757-V2 FPV raptor upgrade has a larger 10 inch propeller and size 40 motor.[3]

757-3 Ranger EX

757-3 Ranger EX with Chinese name as Rui-Ying or Ruiying (睿鹰), is the largest VolantexRC UAV developed so far (as of end of 2014), and it is also the first VolantexRC UAV with tricycle landing gear, thus it can take off and land by taxiing, as opposed to being launched by hands for the VolantexRC UAVs previously developed. The installation of the payload, namely, the camera carried, is different than that of all VolantexRC UAVs previously developed: it can be either installed in the nose, or under the chin. 757-3 Ranger EX is in conventional layout with high wing configuration.[4]
