About FB3
FB3 is an eight-rotor electric aircraft rated to carry loads up to 100 kilograms. Cargo can be suspended beneath the drone or placed inside a purpose-built box for construction, energy, industrial logistics and remote delivery.
Dual cameras, GNSS and flight-control systems support precise movement around infrastructure and uneven terrain. Redundant propulsion, power distribution and communications provide controlled recovery during faults. FlyingBasket supplies ground-control equipment, operator training and aviation documentation and has secured FAA approval for commercial heavy-lift operations in the United States.
