FB3 Heavy-Lift Drone
Commercial cargo drone with a 100kg payload capacity
The FB3 is engineered for heavy payloads, offering an extraordinary blend of capacity and compactness. This all-electric drone requires no assembly and can be conveniently transported in a van or trailer, making it ready for immediate deployment.
The FB3 is designed for BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) operations, featuring a robust data link that transmits essential flight control information and telemetry over distances of up to 10 km. All frequency bands are optimized to reduce interference and are ECO (European Communications Office)-certified.
Flexible Payload Configurations
This highly versatile heavy-lift drone boasts remarkable strength, capable of lifting 100 kg while weighing just 70 kg.It can be configured in two distinct ways, allowing for the transport of various payload shapes and sizes:
Sling Configuration
Utilize our exclusive remote-controlled load hook for lifting and releasing heavy cargo.
Cargo Compartment
A durable transport box measuring 50 x 33 x 32 cm, tailored to accommodate a variety of payloads and operational needs.
Eco-Friendly Propulsion System
The FB3 is equipped with eight brushless motors arranged in a coaxial quadcopter configuration. This innovative setup separates propulsion into upper and lower systems, providing essential redundancy for maximum safety while ensuring outstanding heavy-lift capabilities.
With our specially designed smart batteries, the FB3 serves as an environmentally friendly and lasting alternative to traditional helicopters and combustion engine aircraft for critical cargo missions, ensuring a minimal ecological impact.
Advanced Safety Features
The FB3 has been meticulously crafted with safety as a top priority. It incorporates a comprehensive array of state-of-the-art features to guarantee peace of mind and operational confidence, even in the most demanding conditions.
- Flight Termination System (FTS): Provides precise control over the drone, ensuring it remains within the Ground Risk Buffer.
- Optional ADS-B receiver: Offers real-time data on surrounding aircraft for improved situational awareness and collision prevention.
- Redundant Propulsion System: In case of motor controller, motor, battery, or short circuit failures, the drone can continue to operate safely.
- Radar AGL Sensor: Accurately measures altitude above ground level for terrain-following, obstacle avoidance, and overall safety.
