FB3 Model
Cargo Drone System
Electric multicopter designed for vertical lift missions and bulky cargo transport. Compact, easy to fly, with no crew safety risk, and cost-effective.
Dimensions and Performance
Compact Drone
The compact size of the FB3 allows the use of a light trailer, towable in most countries by a regular car and requiring only a car driver's license. Two people are enough to load/unload the FB3.
Range by Payload
*Nominal conditions, excluding contingencies, wind effects, etc.
FB3 Cargo Options
At least one option must be selected to enable cargo transport. The FB3 can be reconfigured from one option to another in a few hours with standard tools.
Load Slinging (External Cargo)
The FB3 can be equipped to carry loads externally using a sling rope. The load is connected to a cargo hook remotely controlled by the pilot.
- Max load: 100 kg
- Rope lengths: 18m to 50m tested
- Min load distance: 5m from drone
- Remote release from control
- Hook with power and data via cable
Cargo Box (Internal Cargo)
The FB3 can be equipped with an internal cargo box for protected material transport.
- Internal dimensions: 81×35×30 cm
- Capacity: up to 33 kg
- Protected from elements
- Interchangeable with Load Slinging
UAV Subsystems
Redundant Propulsion System
8 propulsion units (4 push + 4 pull) with brushless motors and ESCs. System divided into two independent subsystems. Even with loss of one subsystem, controlled and steerable landing is possible.
Li-Ion Batteries
4 battery packs with 96 Lithium-Ion cells in series each. Nominal voltage: 345.6V, capacity: 4.2 Ah, weight: 8.5 kg per pack. Cell voltage and temperature monitoring during flight.
Fuselage Structure
Designed for easy maintenance using modern technologies like laser cutting and 3D printing. Main materials: Aluminum (7075, 6063), Steel, PETG, Carbon Fiber.
Camera System
Two cameras: frontal for flight area inspection and downward for precise load positioning. Both with live transmission.
Positioning System
Multi-GNSS with ~1m precision. AGL radar sensor for distance measurement and improved pilot situational awareness.
Flight Modes
Autonomous flight with predefined waypoints using GNSS coordinates
Pilot controls speed, drone maintains position without commands. Compensates for disturbances like wind
Barometer or GNSS-based altitude control. Pilot controls climb/descent rates
Backup mode with fewer required sensors. Used in specific circumstances
Ground Control Station (GCS)
FlyingBasket's GCS is the only permitted method to pilot the FB3 drone. Packaged in a transport case with tripod and sun covers.
- Remote Controller with two joysticks and switches for modes and hook control
- Ground station computer with Primary Flight Display (QGC)
- Controller with downward camera video and FTS interface
- Front screen for forward camera video
- 868 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequencies with encrypted links
- Integrated batteries for all-day operation + AC charging
- Verified link range: 10 km for each unit
Safety Features
The FB3 system design emphasizes redundancy and avoidance of single points of failure to ensure high safety in flight and on the ground.
