About Top Flight Technologies
Top Flight Technologies develops the Airborg family of hybrid-electric multirotor aircraft for long-endurance cargo, inspection and surveillance missions. The Airborg H8 10K uses eight coaxial rotors and a generator-supported propulsion system combining a 10-kilowatt engine, fuel tank and continuously charged lithium-polymer battery. It supports manual, semi-autonomous and autonomous control, removable arms, configurable landing gear and interchangeable payload or sensor packages.
The H8 10K is specified for more than two hours of flight with a four-kilogram payload or more than one hour with ten kilograms. Top Flight couples the aircraft with mission simulation, flight planning and fleet-management software that can supervise as many as ten vehicles, plus interfaces for third-party image capture and analysis. Cargo and inspection configurations are assembled around customer missions, with options for telemetry, onboard computing, cloud upload and automated operating infrastructure.
