Coverage and remote capabilities
Aera
Aera is a robust VTOL drone. It takes off and lands vertically like a helicopter before transitioning to the efficient flight of a plane by leveraging its wings.
Dock
The Avy docking station & control tower create a fully remote system. Launch, land and charge without a single person on site. It can be operated from thousands of kilometres away.
Payload
Aera's fuselage accommodates for more than just its battery. There's room on either side for payloads.
Software
Avy software is continually updated and improved to service new use cases and further enhance automation and safety.

Frequently asked questions.
Answers to your questions, every step of the way.
What is the Avy Drone Network?
It's a complete system — drone, docking station, software and control centre — that works together as one. The drone launches automatically, flies itself, and returns to its dock to recharge, all without anyone needing to be on site. Think of it as always-on aerial coverage, ready to deploy in seconds.
What makes Avy different from a regular drone?
Most drones need a pilot standing nearby. Avy is designed to operate fully remotely and autonomously — beyond visual line of sight, in real weather conditions, over long distances. It's closer to an unmanned aircraft system than a consumer drone.
What can the Avy drone carry
The Aera carries payloads up to 3kg as standard. That covers most cameras, sensors and medical kits. For heavier or custom payloads, we work with you directly.
How far and how fast can it fly?
The Aera covers up to 100km on a single charge at a cruise speed of 100km/h, with a typical flight time of around 60 minutes.
Can it fly in bad weather?
Yes. The Aera handles rain, strong winds up to 35+ knots, extreme cold and heat. It's built for operational conditions, not just ideal ones.
Where is Avy based and where do you operate?
We're based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. We operate across Europe and beyond — from ports and coastlines to remote regions in Africa and the Middle East.
