Powerful Towing Capacity
a wide range of operational demands
SkyTow Intelligent Drone Towing System
The world's first intelligent drone towing system purpose-built for low-altitude applications — delivering stable, safe, and efficient towing support for unpowered aircraft including paragliders, hang gliders, and gliders.
SkyTow-201
SkyTow-201 Intelligent Drone Towing System
SkyTow-201 is the world's first intelligent drone towing system — purpose-built for commercial applications including low-altitude flight experiences, pilot training, and competitive events. Powered by high-precision intelligent flight control and adaptive towing algorithms, the system delivers stable, safe, and efficient towing performance, significantly expanding the possibilities for low-altitude sports.
Core Technology Systems
Four independently developed core systems, purpose-built for flight applications — forming the SkyTow technology framework.
Towiin Polaris Sys
Real-Time Adaptive Regulation of Paraglider Flight Attitude & Altitude
Towiin Benlei Energy Sys
15-min simultaneous fast charging (dual-battery), compatible with EV power
Towiin AeroRide Sys
4+2 split-type configuration — independent flight control and towing propulsion operate separately 100 m towing rope ensures a generous safety buffer
Towiin Panshou Safety Sys
Dual manual and automatic release — response time within 1 second Automatic switchover to backup battery ensures release in the event of main power failure
Superior Flight Performance
Extended endurance, high wind tolerance, suited for plains / camp sites / high-altitude terrains
Advanced Intelligent System
Precision position control, intelligent obstacle avoidance, auto-cruise, and real-time data feedback
6 Core Advantages
40,000+ towing operations | 30+ flight camps in routine operation | 100+ test sites
Flight Site Revolution
- 95% reduction in site requirements: traditional winches need 1,000–2,000 m straight runways; SkyTow needs only 50–100 m of flat open ground
- All-terrain adaptability: no dedicated runway required — flat open ground is sufficient, meeting specialized site needs such as SIV training
- CityFly: from mountains to parks — SkyTow brings flight into cities and makes it accessible to everyone
High Towing Efficiency
- Fast towing speed: 500 m altitude in 2.5 minutes, 1,000 m in 4 minutes
- High cycle frequency: 120 m loop altitude, 10 sorties in 30 minutes. Takeoff, release, return, and relaunch are tightly sequenced — throughput per unit time far exceeds traditional methods
Ultimate Safety
- Zero surge, zero swing on release: the moment of release produces no forward surge and no swing, confirmed by USHPA testing with the finding "Absolutely no surge"
- Automatic release on fault: dual-end release design automatically separates under abnormal conditions, preventing risk from reaching the pilot
- Low rope-break risk: the rope requires no repeated winding and unwinding, resulting in minimal wear
- Automatic flight-control correction: vertical alignment, climb-rate matching, and deviation correction are all managed automatically, eliminating hazards from human error
Smoother Climb
- Smooth throughout: takeoff, climb, and release are all free of jolts — the pilot experience is consistently smooth
- Leading climb smoothness: pilots from 30+ countries consistently report after flight: "Smooth, very smooth, no bump"
Simplified Operation
- Minimal pilot input required: 90% automated — attitude alignment, climb control, and deviation correction are all system-managed; the operator only monitors and issues commands
- Fast pilot onboarding: full training completed in 2–4 hours, enabling independent flight
Low Operating Costs
- Zero infrastructure investment: no runway, no winch vehicle, no fixed facilities — minimal staffing required
- Flexible redeployment: equipment is mobile and can be relocated quickly, allowing one system to serve multiple sites
- Rapid deployment: operational immediately upon arrival — commercial tandem towing achieves 102 sorties per day; 120 m loop altitude delivers 10 sorties in 30 minutes for training
