Motor boom with heat dissipation parts

The GD-23XU is equipped with a unique internal boom technology with a dedicated heat dissipation unit. A patented Gryphon Dynamics technology that reduces the probability of failure and error due to the significant heat generated by the electronic speed controller when flying continuously, or in hot climates. By mounting the heat dissipation units on opposite sides of the drone’s arm it also allows the airflow to quickly and efficiently control the heat generated by the electronic transmission.

With the electronic speed controller system being built into the motor booms, this minimises the impact on thrust loss as each boom is more streamlined. In addition, the lightweight design helps secure longer flight time as the is no need to fix the ESC’s with separate mounts and fixtures.

Intelligent Distribution board

The intelligent distribution board has been specifically design for the Gryphon Dynamics range of multi-copters. Our Distribution boards have patented technology, and designed to operate across a wide range of power sources and voltages. Likewise, the distribution board outputs in various equipment voltages without having additional wiring or additional BECs needing to be installed. There are two 12Vs and two 5Vs as preconfigured outputs, and by being integrated into the main power distribution board helps reduce the weight of drones. It is also designed to reduce radio interference and minimise the impact of geomagnetic fields.

In addition, further weight and wiring is minimised when used in conjunction with the Gryphon looms, which simply plug in via molex connectors. This offers the additional benefit of easy installation and reduced points of failure.

Folding System

The main booms have an aircraft grade hinge connector which allows the arms to swing inboard for when the drone is being stored or transported. This reduces the size of the drone considerably. The booms folding arm connector is made of lightweight storing aircraft grade AL6061 aluminium, once opens the booms are secure rigidly in place with metal lock knobs. The lock knob system has been adopted to secure the hinge area, which otherwise could be vulnerable to vibration during flight, these lock knobs eradicate the vibration on both sides of the hinge, making the arms rock solid once assembled. This system also allows the drone to be assembled and ready for flight in less than 3 minutes.


Unfolded Size : 1562mm X 1562mm X 436mm (incl. propellers)
Folded Size : 598mm X 598mm X 436mm

(Dimensions vary depending on propeller and landing gear)

Quick Release Battery System

The Gryphon Dynamics Quick Release battery canisters allows rapid and hot swapping of standard industry smart battery systems. The placement of the underslung battery module gives a low centre of gravity to the drone, aiding the autopilot for rock soli stability and maximising flight endurance. Being contained within the battery quick release module the batteries are rigidly fixed during flight for safety.

Optimised Propulsion

The GD-23XU has a powerful propulsion systems but has been optimised for efficiency, whilst easily carrying a package between 5Kg to 10kg of payload. The GD-23XU is also able to fly for a extended endurance compare to similar drones. The drone has been used in a wide range activities from SAR missions to construction monitoring to medicine delivery
