The Elios 3 Surveying Light package is a streamlined solution designed for efficient indoor inspections and mapping. At its core is the Elios 3 drone, equipped with a LiDAR payload that enables precise centimeter accurate scans for data collection and advanced 3D mapping capabilities. With its collision-resilient design and SLAM-based stabilization, the Elios 3 drone offers exceptional stability and locational awareness, even in complex industrial settings. The package includes essential components such as three Elios batteries, two chargers, and a tablet for the Ground Control Station, ensuring extended operational time and seamless control. 

Equipped with the Ouster OS0-128 Rev 7 LiDAR sensor, it creates high-density point cloud maps, which provide real-time 3D views of the drone's trajectory and environment. This empowers users to digitize inaccessible areas with ease and assess inspection coverage instantly. The modular payload bay supports auxiliary payloads, making the Elios 3 a versatile and future-proof inspection tool. Designed for tough work environments, the drone's unique reversing motors and signature cage ensure resilience, allowing it to recover from flipping upside-down without the fear of crashing. 

Bridge data gaps in challenging environments

Comprehensive data is key to supporting operational decisions. Yet many hazardous environments are beyond the reach of existing data capture technologies.

Flyability's Surveying Payload turns the Elios 3 into a flying mobile scanner that can fit through openings as small as 50x50cm, and create high resolution scans beyond line of sight, allowing industry professionals to provide rapid insights that are not accessible with traditional tools or other UAV technologies.

With its small form factor, the Elios 3 and the Surveying Payload can fit through openings as small as 50x50cm. It has a fixed cage that physically protects the hardware and a patented combination of flight controller and motor design that allows the drone to recover flight stability after a collision. This enables the drone to navigate through the most complex environments to capture high resolution scans where no other technology can.
