The JOUAV CW-15, a professional-grade fixed-wing VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) drone, is showcased at the China Pavilion during MWC 2026. This hybrid electric UAV combines the vertical flexibility of a multicopter with the long-range efficiency of an airplane, offering up to 180 minutes of flight endurance and a 50 km communication range. It is equipped with millimeter-wave radar for obstacle avoidance and carries high-precision payloads like LiDAR and thermal sensors for industrial mapping and surveillance during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, on March 4, 2026.
