Flyability Elios 3 Tether Power Unit
The Elios 3 Tether Power Unit delivers continuous power for long, stress-free inspections. Connecting to a wall outlet, generator or portable power station, it converts 100–240 V AC into high-voltage DC delivered through a 50 m Kevlar®-reinforced cable — eliminating mid-mission battery swaps. A 360° anti-flip swivel, backup battery and EU C5 classification keep flights stable, safe and compliant.
Continuous power, zero battery swaps
Fly for as long as the mission demands. The Tether Power Unit feeds the Elios 3 from the ground, eliminating mid-mission battery swaps and the downtime that comes with them.
50 m Kevlar®-reinforced tether
A lightweight cable reinforced with Kevlar® carries high-voltage DC up to 50 m, with up to 50 kg tensile strength for secure, reliable operation at distance.
360° anti-flip swivel
A dedicated 360° anti-flip swivel keeps the tether from tangling or destabilizing the drone, so the Elios 3 stays steady through complex, twisting flight paths.
Tool-light tether ↔ battery swap
Switch between tethered and free-flight battery power in under a minute with minimal tools — so you stay flexible across long inspections and quick sorties alike.
Safe, compliant, backed up
EU C5 classification supports STS-01 operations, while a backup battery triggers an automatic safe landing if power is ever interrupted — for peace of mind on every flight.
