About Linebird
Linebird is a Richmond, Virginia company focused on the difficult interface between a drone and live power-line hardware. Conventional aerial inspection is usually visual; Linebird adds a mechanically compliant, electrically nonconductive payload that allows a remotely piloted aircraft to touch conductors and carry task-specific tools.
The Osprey Nonconductive Payload System supports applications such as resistance measurement, line marking, wildlife mitigation and storm-restoration work. By separating the contact tool from the carrier drone, the company can adapt the same payload architecture to different aircraft and utility tasks. Korthos classifies Linebird as infrastructure-inspection and intervention equipment rather than as a general drone manufacturer.
