About

About Zoe

Zoe is a folding professional quadcopter built around a carbon-fibre frame, modular payload bay and multiband F9P RTK positioning. Zoe provides flight times up to approximately 47 minutes, allowing inspection, mapping and security teams to carry specialised cameras without moving to Acecore’s larger platforms.

The aircraft is designed to operate in continuous winds up to 35 knots and rainfall reaching ten millimetres per hour. Hollow arms route cabling internally and simplify servicing, while payload integrations span high-resolution imaging, lidar, thermal sensing and mapping equipment. Acecore supplies the aircraft in configured systems with payload integrations selected for each mission.
