San Luis Obispo, CA, June 1, 2023 – Inspired Flight Technologies, a leading American drone manufacturer, announces the highly anticipated pre-release of their medium-lift IF800 Tomcat, a vehicle that’s set to ship before the end of the year.
Inspired Flight’s IF800 Tomcat features a lightweight, compact, and foldable frame, enabling easy transportation and deployment in various environments. The drone comes with a specially designed case that offers ample space for batteries and payload, ensuring convenience and protection during transit. Whether it’s inspecting infrastructure, mapping terrain, or conducting LiDAR surveys, the IF800 Tomcat is a reliable and adaptable tool for professionals in need of cutting-edge aerial capabilities.
With a max payload capacity of 3 kg, this medium-lift drone delivers unparalleled flexibility and productivity.
It is the first NDAA compliant industrial-grade drone to deliver greater
than 40-minute flight time while carrying many of the most popular high
resolution cameras and sensors. Dual hot swappable smart batteries
enable large missions to be completed without system resets and easy
slide installation ensures minimal downtime during battery swaps.
This advanced drone design also features a 30-degree upward-angle shooting capability for gimbal-mounted cameras, enabling more effective imaging of powerlines, bridges, and other critical infrastructure. An integral FPV (First-Person View) camera allows operators real-time visual feedback and precise control during flights.
Inspired Flight manufacturers all of their systems, including the IF800 Tomcat, without reliance on critical Chinese or other foreign technologies that are prohibited by the U.S. National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This landmark legislation and associated government regulations recognize the geo-political and strategic importance of drone technology to the economic and national security of the United States. Inspired Flight is fully committed to re-establishing America’s leadership in this consequential industry.
“Most of the key technologies that enable the impressive performance and utility of modern, commercial drones were invented in the United States. The Inspired Flight team is honored to play our part in restoring these capabilities back to our shores.”
