For industrial operators pushing the boundaries of aerial missions, payload capacity isn’t just a spec – it’s the cornerstone of operational success. Whether deploying seismic sensors in mountain ranges or delivering critical supplies to offshore platforms, understanding the true capabilities of your InsselTech MASS-6000 Fixed-Wing Drone is paramount.
Payload Capacity by Drone Class
Large Fixed-Wing Drones represent the pinnacle of heavy-lift efficiency. The MASS-6000 redefines this category with unmatched performance:
| Category | Payload Range | MASS-6000 Dominance |
|---|---|---|
| Industrial Giants | 50-75kg | 75kg max certified payload |
| Long-Range Haulers | >1000km range | 72L fuel capacity for 8h endurance |
Why it matters: When carrying 50kg LiDAR equipment at 4,000m altitude, the MASS-6000 maintains cruise speeds of 230km/h – 40% faster than rotary competitors.
Engineering the Impossible: MASS-6000’s Performance DNA
1. Thrust-to-Weight Mastery
- Real-World Calculation:
Takeoff Weight: 230kg (Max) = 230 × 9.8 × 2 = 4,508N
▶ Delivered: 550CC piston engine generates 5,200N thrust – 15% performance margin
2. Aerodynamic Supremacy
- Wingspan: 6,050mm carbon-fiber spar
- Flight Efficiency: 0.32kg payload per km at 200km/h (Industry avg: 0.18kg/km)
3. Altitude Resilience
Carrying 60kg hydrographic survey gear at 3,800m? The MASS-6000’s turbo-normalized engine maintains 94% sea-level thrust.
Mission-Specific Payload Optimization
| Application | Payload | MASS-6000 Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Pipeline Inspection | 55kg (Thermal+Gas sensors) | >1000km range covers 3 conventional sorties |
| Maritime Delivery | 75kg (Sealed containers) | 230km/h dash speed beats storm fronts |
| Topographic Mapping | 65kg (HySpex hyperspectral) | 4,000m operating ceiling captures 290km²/hour |
Why Overloading Cripples Performance
Exceeding the 75kg payload limit on MASS-6000 triggers:
- Cruise Speed Penalty: 230km/h → 170km/h (-26%)
- Endurance Collapse: 8hrs → 4.2hrs (-47%)
- Structural Risk: Wing loading exceeds 120% design limit during turbulence
The Heavy-Lift Hierarchy: MASS-6000 vs Competitors
plaintext
Max Payload Speed @ 50kg Cost per kg/km
Inssel MASS-6000 75kg 225km/h $0.38
DJI Agras T40 50kg 108km/h $0.72
Wingcopter 198 30kg 150km/h $1.15
Why InsselTech’s MASS-6000 Wins:
- Payload-Range Equation Revolution: 75kg payload for 1000km is industry’s best kg×km value
- Modular Payload Bays: Swap between hyperspectral pods/emergency kits in 8 minutes
- Storm-Proof Operation: Validated in Beaufort Force 9 gales (24m/s winds)
For mission planners: At 75kg payload, the MASS-6000 achieves 73% lower operating costs vs helicopter alternatives. Contact our engineers to pressure-test your operational scenarios.
