Flyability Elios 3 Inspection & Mapping Drone
The Flyability Elios 3 is the first collision-tolerant indoor drone for inspecting and mapping confined and hazardous spaces, pairing the FlyAware™ SLAM engine with onboard LiDAR for rock-steady stability and real-time 3D mapping.
FlyAware™ SLAM Engine
A unique fusion of computer vision, LiDAR and an NVidia engine acts as a centimeter-accurate indoor GPS, building real-time 3D maps so the drone senses its surroundings instantly — for groundbreaking stability and precise locational awareness.
SLAM-Based Stabilization
An all-new stabilization algorithm catches the tiniest unpredictable movements and compensates instantly, so the drone floats stone-still even in the toughest conditions — letting pilots of any skill level succeed with almost no training.
3D Live Map
The embedded LiDAR continuously scans the surroundings to build a high-density point cloud, displayed instantly in the Cockpit app — giving flawless locational awareness and letting you assess inspection coverage on the spot.
Survey-grade 3D point clouds
Every flight becomes a rich, high-density 3D point cloud — a detailed digital twin of the most complex and inaccessible spaces. Capture, measure and report on assets with centimeter detail, straight from the data the Elios 3 collects.
Collision-Resilient Rugged Design
With its signature protective cage and reversing motors, Elios 3 is the only drone that can recover from flipping upside-down without crashing, while the rugged IP44 design shrugs off water splashes and dust.
Dust-Proof Close-Up Inspection
A rethought 16,000-lumen oblique, dust-proof lighting system with a 180° 4K camera, thermal camera and distance sensor delivers stunning, consistently smooth image quality — even in complete darkness and dusty air.
Modular Payload Bay
Two dedicated ports — one for LiDAR and one for auxiliary payloads — turn Elios 3 into a versatile, future-proof platform that adapts to surveying, UT thickness, radiation and gas-detection missions.
Return-To-Signal
Elios 3 monitors the live video link and, if the feed drops, offers to autonomously fly back along its original trajectory until the connection is restored — added peace of mind for exploring further in marginal signal conditions.
Built for the toughest assets
From boilers and ore passes to stockpiles and confined galleries, Elios 3 turns inspection and mapping data into digital insights across oil & gas, power, mining, maritime, cement and infrastructure.
