Commercial Heavy-Payload Drones for Heavy-Lift Cargo Transportation & Logistics

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.

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.Heavy-Lift Multirotor DroneThe 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:

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

Comprehensive training programs

We also offer a range of comprehensive professional training programs for drone pilots and team members. Our programs include:
