Overview

A tethered facade-cleaning drone that deploys in two minutes and cleans at 80–100 m.

Facade models (QY-QX-420, QY-X4-40) are tethered to a ground high-pressure washer through a braided hose, allowing continuous cleaning at heights of up to 120 m without scaffolding or gondolas.

Photovoltaic models (CD20, CD50) carry an onboard water tank and spray system for solar arrays, with RTK positioning and radar for stable, repeatable passes.

Key features

  • Truss structure with doubled fuselage strength, IP67 and washable
  • Magnetically shielded flight-control housing (≤ 400 g) for stable flight near buildings
  • Autonomous ground station: waypoints, vertical A-B cleaning mode, geofence, low-battery and lost-link return
  • Front radar (1.5–27 m, ±0.1 m) for pre-cleaning distance holding
  • LED status lights that indicate power state and fault warnings
