ThunderFly TF-G2 is a UAV of autogyro type designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic. The first flight took place in May 2020. Its primary use involve simpler flight operations under adverse weather conditions, supporting applications from scientific research[1] to air pollution monitoring.[2] Thanks to the open-source hardware design and the use of 3D printing technology it can be easily modified for a specific application.[3][4] A key feature of the TF-G2 autogyro is its ability to fly in strong winds with wind gusts (or more generally, to fly under severe meteorological conditions) setting it apart from similar-sized multicopters or aircraft that are not capable of such flights due to safety reasons. Another important feature of autogyro is an autorotation safety mode that enables a controlled (slow) descent even in the event of avionics failure.[5]
