ShadowHawk D-A250 5-Inch High-Speed FPV Drone

1. ShadowHawk D-A250 5-Inch High-Speed FPV Drone Overview

The ShadowHawk D-A250 is a professional-grade 5-inch high-speed traverse FPV drone engineered for extreme velocity and intelligent target acquisition. Powered by a 6S FC130 propulsion system and FC 65 L32 ESC, this black-finished racing quadcopter achieves flight speeds of 60–100 m/s with a maximum altitude of 5,000 meters. The aircraft integrates an advanced AI vision module with up to 6 TOPS computing power, offering intelligent LOS tracking, trajectory prediction, and multi-target recognition capabilities for both human and vehicle targets. With an open-space control radius of 15,000 meters, 5.8G video transmission, and 8th-level wind resistance, the D-A250 delivers exceptional performance for high-speed reconnaissance, tactical racing, and professional aerial operations. Four sensor configurations are available: Max+ Single Visible Light, Ultra Dual Visible Light, Max+ Single Visible + Thermal Imaging, and Ultra Dual Visible + Thermal Imaging, accommodating diverse mission requirements from daylight precision tracking to all-thermal night operations.
