Drones have transformed the way we perceive and utilize aerial technology. Initially designed for surveillance and recreational activities, their applications have vastly expanded to include sectors like agriculture, entertainment, and notably, cargo transportation. These aerial marvels are redefining logistics, making deliveries more efficient and accessible even in the most remote areas.
With a solid seven-year background in drone design, manufacturing, and operations, FlyingBasket has emerged as a leading player in Europe’s drone industry. They’ve worked closely with National and European regulators, actively shaping and adhering to the highest safety standards in current European regulations.
Building on this foundation, after extensive research, collaboration with industrial stakeholders, and practical testing, the Italian startup FlyingBasket is proud to introduce the FB3. This pioneering heavy cargo drone is now ready for commercial use and can even operate in urban environments, lifting varied loads to the tops of buildings and transporting cargoes for distances over 10km. Boasting an impressive 100-kilogram payload capacity, the FB3 stands as evidence of FlyingBasket’s dedication to excellence, reflecting their collective knowledge and expertise, aiming to deliver the best for drone operators.
The journey with the FB3 drone has been marked by extensive testing and collaboration with customers across various industries, enabling them to tailor its capabilities to meet specific and relevant needs. At FlyingBasket, they have always provided a Drone-as-a-Service solution, constantly evolving their equipment and gaining valuable insights into diverse applications.
The FB3’s outstanding heavy cargo transport and lifting capability has been rigorously demonstrated in a wide range of environments, including forests, wind turbines, construction sites, and urban settings.
Now, with the FB3 available for use, drone operators worldwide can expand their service offerings and meet the evolving demands of their customers. The FB3 offers two versatile cargo transport options: a spacious box compartment for package delivery and a sling rope option, resembling a helicopter service, for oversized cargo, allowing it to transport even bulky loads.
The introduction of heavy-lift cargo drones, like the FB3, marks a significant milestone in the logistics industry. These drones have the potential to revolutionize various sectors by streamlining the transportation of heavy equipment to remote and demanding locations. This innovation not only enhances worker safety but also significantly improves operational efficiency. The use of cargo drones opens up exciting possibilities for businesses looking to overcome logistical challenges and explore new avenues for growth.
CEO of FlyingBasket, Moritz Moroder stated: “The FB3 commercial availability is another milestone in the roadmap of FlyingBasket, who continuously commit to innovation, safety, and excellence within the drone industry. It represents a significant leap forward in cargo transportation possibilities. We are excited about the potential it holds for various industries.”
