European drone leader FlyingBasket has announced the commercial release of its FB3, a heavy cargo drone with a 100-kilogram payload capacity.

Since 2015, FlyingBasket has worked alongside National and European regulators, playing an active role in shaping European safety standards and in the evolution of the drone industry.

The culmination of extensive research, development and testing, the FB3 demonstrates FlyingBasket’s commitment to quality. The company collaborated with customers throughout various industries so that they could customize its capabilities to better suit their needs. The FB3’s impressive payload capacity and lifting capability has been thoroughly tested across various environments, including forests, wind parks, and urban settings.

The FB3 enables drone operators around the globe to grow their service offerings to better serve their customers. The flexible drone has two options for cargo transport: a box compartment for delivering packages, and a sling rope for oversized cargo.

Heavy-lift cargo drones such as the FB3 hold the potential to transform the logistics industry, presenting businesses with a range of possibilities for solving logistical challenges and exploring new avenues for growth. By simplifying the delivery of heavy equipment to challenging locations, these drones simultaneously improve both worker safety and operational efficiency.

“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,” said FlyingBasket CEO Moritz Moroder. “We are excited about the potential it holds for various industries.”
