About Inspired Flight
Inspired Flight manufactures professional multirotor aircraft in California for mapping, inspection, public safety and government missions. Its IF800 Tomcat and larger IF1200 carry modular optical, thermal, multispectral and lidar payloads on United States-made, NDAA-compliant platforms.
The foldable IF800 uses ArduPilot on a CubePilot controller, dual hot-swappable batteries and an adjustable payload rail. It is rated for up to 54 minutes, 49 miles per hour and a three-kilogram maximum payload. Inspired Ground Control manages missions and telemetry, while field documentation covers payload integration, maintenance and operational checks.
