Design & Flight Time

The Elios 3 offers up to 12 minutes of flight time, lights have been located to the outside of the cage to reduce reflections and there are now ducts covering the motors to reduce noise by up to 20 decibels. Plus, with the new deployment and locking mechanism, battery manipulations are quick and easy.

MFE Canada Elios 3 Payload Bay

Modular Payload Bay

The Elios 3 features a modular payload bay with two ports, one for the LiDaR system and one for other additional payloads. This new design offers aerial capabilities for a variety of future applications. The Elios 3 is a versatile instrument with an eye on the future.

Cameras and Lighting

The fixed camera payload now comes with a 4k 180° field of view and a thermal imaging camera as well as a distance sensor. Offering amazing image quality, the Elios 3 produces 16,000 lumens of light with adaptive lighting control for close-up inspections.

Return To Signal

The “Return-To-Signal” firmware update for Flyability’s Elios 3 drone marks a significant advancement in drone safety for challenging environments. This update equips the drone with the ability to autonomously retrace its path during signal interruptions, as signaled by a popup in the Cockpit interface. This feature ensures consistent monitoring of the live video connection, greatly enhancing the drone’s reliability and the pilot’s confidence when operating in areas with weak or unstable radio signals. This update is a crucial step in expanding the drone’s operational capabilities in diverse and demanding settings.
