Welcome to the Watts Innovations Knowledge Base!

We have created this site for the support of our product range, from the PRISM & PRISM Sky aircraft, to our payloads and Ground Stations. Please use this guide as an aid to assist your team's operations with our products. If you have any questions at any time, please feel free to reach out to us at support@wattsinnovations.com.

PRISM & PRISM SKY:

We have designed PRISM and PRISM Sky to be the most versatile aircraft possible. We understand the challenges that professional Drone Operators face on a daily use, so we created this aircraft with the pilots in mind.

PRISM can fly as a quadcopter or X8 Coaxial, with large motors or small. Each arm is user-serviceable and can be removed by loosening two bolts. With our patent-pending PropulsionID technology, the drone is smart enough to detect and automatically configure the autopilot for flight no matter what kind of propulsion system is installed.

PRISM and PRISM Sky are rotorcraft that may fly as either a Quadcopter or Coaxial X8 with four or eight motors arranged in either configuration, capable of operating in a wide range of conditions for a wide range of applications. Each motor is mounted on the end of a carbon-fiber arm mounted at equal intervals around a flight deck using aviation-grade aluminum fastenings. The central flight deck contains the avionics between two protective carbon-fiber plates, with side-mounted data and power ports to allow sensor and battery payload integration on the top or bottom of the airframe using the integrated 12mm rail system, according to the user’s needs.

PRISM is designed, assembled and supported in the USA.

PRISM, as configured as a Quadcopter, is maneuverable, light weight, quiet, efficient and speedy.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • MAX TAKEOFF WEIGHT: 37lbs

  • DRY WEIGHT (WITHOUT BATTERIES): 15.6lbs

  • MAX PAYLOAD: 5lbs

  • BATTERY REQUIREMENTS: 2x 12s 8,000 - 16,000mAh packs

  • FLIGHT TIME: 10-45 Minutes (Dependent Upon on Payload / Battery Size)

  • MAX TESTED SPEED: 60mph

  • PROPELLER SIZE: 28"

  • MOTOR-TO-MOTOR DIAMETER: 1100mm (3.61ft)

  • MAXIMUM DIAMETER (propeller tip to propeller tip): 1817mm (5.96ft)

  • HEIGHT: 500mm (1.64ft)

PRISM, as configured as an X8 Coaxial, is powerful, reliable, efficient and offers mechanical redundancy.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • MAX TAKEOFF WEIGHT: 54.9lbs

  • DRY WEIGHT (WITHOUT BATTERIES): 20.25lbs

  • MAX PAYLOAD: 25lbs
