Product discontinued

The Yuneec Typhoon H is no longer manufactured, supported, or sold.

The six-rotor drone that once rivaled DJI's Phantom 4 was quietly killed when Yuneec pivoted to enterprise. Here's the full story, how its specs compare to what's available now, and which drones replace it.

Product History

The Typhoon H was the first consumer hexacopter with Intel RealSense obstacle avoidance, a 360-degree rotating camera gimbal, and retractable landing gear. It launched at $1,299 and earned rave reviews for stability and camera quality.

But Yuneec couldn't keep pace with DJI's release cycle. The Mavic Pro's portability and the Phantom 4 Pro's camera made the bulky Typhoon H feel obsolete. Yuneec shifted to commercial and enterprise products. The Typhoon H quietly disappeared.

2016
CES launch. First consumer hexacopter with Intel RealSense. Retractable gear, 360-degree gimbal. Priced at $1,299.
2016
Typhoon H Pro. RealSense module included as standard. Reviewers praise the 360-degree gimbal and redundant-motor safety.
2017
H Plus announced. 1-inch sensor camera upgrade. Limited availability and poor distribution undermine the launch.
2018
Enterprise pivot. Yuneec winds down consumer drone production. Typhoon H inventory dries up.
2026
End of life. Parts, batteries, and support are no longer available from Yuneec. The Typhoon H is fully discontinued.

Spec Comparison: 2016 vs. 2026

A decade of drone technology compressed into one table. The Typhoon H was impressive for 2016. It's outclassed by drones costing less and weighing a third as much.
