MX860

Heavy‑lift platform
Our enhanced, field‑proven variant

We offer our own MX860‑class heavy‑lift multirotor frame, engineered for professional missions that demand reliability, modularity, and long service life. Building on the proven form factor, our variant adds a flexible payload ecosystem, an onboard, remotely accessible network stack, and a rich sensor suite—validated across demanding environments from the Dolomitic Alps to open‑sea operations.

Key highlights

  • Mission‑proven airframe: Rigid, lightweight carbon structure with transport‑friendly folding geometry and rapid setup. Designed for repeatable, high‑duty cycles and straightforward field maintenance.

  • Multiple payloads, field‑tested: Supports gimballed EO/IR cameras, mapping stacks, LiDAR, release mechanisms, and custom integrations. We’ve validated swappable payloads for surveying, inspection, cinematography, SAR, and maritime operations.

  • Onboard networking with ground access: Integrated LTE/5G/Wi‑Fi/mesh options, VPN‑ready. Secure remote access from the ground station for telemetry, health monitoring, file transfer, and live data streams. API endpoints available for automation and fleet tools.

  • Rich sensor suite: GNSS (multi‑constellation) with RTK option, dual IMUs, magnetometer, barometer; extendable with rangefinders, radar/ADS‑B, and environmental sensors. Supports precision navigation and advanced autonomy stacks.

  • Redundancy and safety: Octo‑class propulsion for motor/prop fault tolerance, advanced failsafes, return‑to‑home/geo‑fencing, and health diagnostics. Compatible with professional flight controllers and enterprise avionics.

  • Operations‑ready: Proven in alpine highlands (Dolomitic Alps) and maritime conditions (at sea) across a wide range of projects, including mapping, infrastructure inspection, environmental surveys, media capture, and emergency support.

What sets our variant apart

  • End‑to‑end payload workflow: We provide mounts, wiring looms, and calibration procedures for fast payload swaps and repeatable results.

  • Network‑centric operations: Built‑in secure connectivity enables remote oversight, over‑the‑air updates, and real‑time data delivery without compromising flight safety.

  • Sensor extensibility: A clean, documented integration path for additional sensors and compute, from companion computers to edge AI modules.

The frame is based on a widely used frame in the market with specific modifications and upgrades in material used in order to provide the outmost reliability and also maintain price levels at the lowest possible cost.
