About Draganfly Heavy Lift Drone
Draganfly’s Heavy Lift Drone is a large multirotor rated for payloads up to 30 kilograms and maximum stated flight time of 55 minutes. Four-, six- or eight-battery configurations let operators trade payload against endurance, while a universal mounting structure accepts cargo boxes, delivery equipment and specialised sensing systems.
A Cube H7 Blue UAS-certified controller provides triple-redundant inertial measurement, and configurations can add long-range encrypted communications, edge compute and parachute recovery. The aircraft is designed and manufactured in North America for logistics, emergency response, industrial lifting and government missions requiring loads beyond the Commander or Apex classes.
