Products

Tron Series

The Tron was the first electric VTOL (eVTOL) fixed-wing UAS developed, produced, and sold by Quantum-Systems. It became the platform for all succeeding developments of Quantum-Systems. Tron can carry payloads and sensors with a weight of up to 2 kg. It was discontinued in December 2020.

Trinity Series[6]

The Trinity It is a 5 kg battery-electric drone with a 2.4 m wingspan that can fly for 90 minutes in temperatures ranging from -12 °C to +50 °C, with a cruise speed of 70 km/h.

The first Trinity prototype had its maiden flight in 2016. The serial production of Trinity started in 2018. The Trinity is the flagship of the Quantum-Systems fleet. It features three VTOL transition tilt-rotors along with the company's modular payload systems to match its 700 g payload capacity, and a foamed fuselage.

Vector & Scorpion Series[7]

Serial production of the Vector and Scorpion 2-in-1-System started in 2020. The Vector is made of carbon-fiber-reinforced material, which makes it more resistant to various weather conditions. Scorpion is a short-range endurance tricopter. Both UAS share the same fuselage.

In September 2020,[8] Auterion partnered with Quantum-Systems to bring to market Vector, a rucksack-portable tactical drone. [9]
