FlyingBasket overview
FlyingBasket is a leading developer of heavy-lift cargo drones for commercial and civil applications. We are passionate about revolutionizing the logistics industry and creating novel solutions that push the boundaries of unmanned aviation while prioritizing safety, efficiency and sustainability.
In addition to our manufacturing capabilities, we also offer Drones as a Service (DaaS), and are the most experienced cargo drone operator in Europe, specializing in goods transportation and heavy lifting for a wide range of industries.
FB3 Heavy-lift Drone
Heavy-lift commercial cargo drone with 100kg carrying capacity
The FB3 is a heavy-payload cargo drone that provides an unparalleled combination of carrying capacity and compact size. The all-electric platform requires no disassembly and can be easily transported inside a van or trailer, ready to deploy at a moment’s notice.
The FB3 has been designed to be BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight)-ready, with a robust data link that transmits critical flight control data and telemetry at ranges of up to 10 km. All frequency bands have been specifically configured to minimize interference, and are ECO (European Communications Office)-approved.
Versatile payload options
The highly adaptable heavy-lift drone delivers exceptional strength, with the ability to lift 100 kg of payload while weighing only 70 kg. It can be provided in one of two configurations, allowing you to carry and transport payloads of all shapes and sizes:
Sling Configuration
Use our proprietary remote-controlled load hook to lift and detach heavy cargo
Cargo Compartment
A rugged transportation box measuring 81 x 35 x 30 cm, designed to suit a wide range of payloads and operational requirements
All-electric propulsion
The FB3 features eight brushless motors configured in a coaxial quadcopter setup. This innovative design divides propulsion into top and bottom subsystems, providing critical redundancy for the utmost in safety while ensuring superior heavy-lift performance.
Thanks to our custom-made smart batteries, the FB3 is an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to helicopters and combustion engine-powered aircraft for mission-critical cargo deployment, providing a minimal environmental footprint.
Robust safety features
We have designed the FB3 from the ground up with safety foremost in mind. The aircraft includes a comprehensive suite of cutting-edge features to ensure peace of mind and mission confidence even in the most challenging of environments.
- Flight Termination System (FTS): ensures precise control over the aircraft, allowing users to easily keep within the Ground Risk Buffer
- ADS-B Receiver (optional): provides real-time information on nearby aircraft for enhanced situational awareness and collision avoidance
- Propulsion System Redundancy: in the event of motor controller, motor, battery, or short circuit failures, the drone can still continue to operate safely
- Radar AGL Sensor: accurate measurement of altitude above ground level for terrain-following, obstacle avoidance, and overall safety
