Flyability - Model Elios 3 -Tether Power Unit
The Elios 3 tether unit delivers continuous power for long, stress-free operations. By connecting to a wall outlet, generator, or compatible portable power station, it converts 100–240 V AC into high-voltage DC, delivered to the drone through a 50 m (164 ft) Kevlar®-reinforced cable. With steady power from the ground, pilots can eliminate mid-mission battery changes and stay focused on the inspection.
Full mission focus
Removes flight-time constraints, allowing the pilot to focus entirely on the mission.
No battery charging or swaps. Pilots stay on task, maximizing mission output.
Extra peace of Mind
The tether serves as a safety lifeline, giving pilots confidence in every mission.
Anti-Flip Swivel
Fly as freely as if untethered
Building on Flyability`s proven collision-tolerant know-how, the anti-flip swivel secures the cable while allowing it to move freely around the drone, eliminating disturbances from the tether. This ensures perfect stability, even during sharp maneuvers or a cable snag.
The swivel rotates 360° around the drone, allowing the tether to attach from any direction. This rotation removes directional constraints, ensuring inspections are never limited by tether orientation.
Easy Tether-to-Battery Swap
Easily switch from tethered to
untethered flight
The air unit connects the cable to the drone and can be swapped with an Elios 3 battery in seconds. This lets pilots fly beyond the tether’s reach, ensuring complete data collection in all conditions.
Kevlar-Reinforced Tether Cable
Rugged cable for demanding missions
The 50 m (164 ft) tether cable is made from lightweight, high-strength Kevlar® fiber, offering exceptional durability and a tensile strength of up to 50 kg. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance and resistance to wear, even in demanding operational environments.
Backup Battery
Land safely in unexpected power outages
The tether ground power unit is equipped with a backup battery either Elios 3 standard or high-capacity battery that automatically supplies enough power for a safe, controlled landing during unexpected power loss.
