Compact, powerful, and customizable, the Alta X from FREEFLY is a modular quadcopter platform specifically designed for governmental use. The US-made Blue PX4 cube (flight controller) is DoD-compliant, meeting specific DIU Blue requirements. The Alta X frame comes equipped with four props and X9 motors, each of the four propellers featuring FREEFLY's ActiveBlade design. ActiveBlade tilts the blade in forward flight to help drastically reduce vibration.
The powerful X9 motors and propellers also help give the Alta X its strength. The Alta X can lift and fly payloads up to 35 lb while maintaining a trust ratio of 1.9:1. With 35 lb of added gear, the Alta X can fly for up to 10.75 minutes. Without any payloads, the Alta X has a 3.5:1 thrust ratio and up to 50 minutes of flight time. Please note that a battery, landing gear, camera, transmitter, and controller for the Alta X are not included.
No matter how you use the Alta X, the drone is engineered for easy transport and quick deployment. The propellers and arms fold to cut their physical size by half, and with just a push of your finger, you can expand the drone to full size. When expanded, the linkages stiffen the booms to help ensure accurate, low-vibration flight. A hard-shell travel case is included to protect the Alta X and accessories during transport and storage.
