A powerful solution for long flight times with heavy payloads. The BigSky™ carryies up to 8lbs for 25 minutes, or 2lbs for up to an hour.
The BigSkyTM is a tether-powered folding-frame quadcopter sUAS that carries multiple payloads up to 8.8lbs. With customer accessible on-board power and network interfaces and Hoverfly’s Secure Power-Tether Network interfaces, BigSky is perfect for persistent aerial reconnaissance and communications applications. Beginning in Sept 2018, BigSky will be optionally tethered and can be easily converted into a free-flying configuration.
