More than just a drone

The aircraft takes off, lands, charges, and shelters in its dock autonomously, ready to fly again within 30 seconds of a mission being triggered.

BVLOS

BVLOS

In standard drone operations, pilots are legally required to maintain direct visual contact with their aircraft at all times, a restriction known as Visual Line of Sight (VLOS). This typically limits usable range to under 500 metres and confines drones to niche, short-range tasks. BVLOS is beyond the 500 metres...

Drone-in-a-box

Drone-in-a-box

With a drone-in-a-box, the aircraft lives on site and deploys itself, on a schedule or the moment something triggers it. It covers a set area, sends back data or live footage, and is ready to go again within minutes. One system can watch a perimeter, run routine inspections and respond to incidents, without anyone travelling to the site to fly it.

Docking station

Docking station

A drone without a dock is a drone that needs a human nearby. Avy's docking station handles launch, landing and recharging automatically, no operator on site required. It's what transforms a drone from a tool into infrastructure.

VTOL

VTOL

VTOL refers to any aircraft that can take off, hover, and land vertically under its own power; without needing a runway or launch catapult. For drones, this is not a luxury feature. It is the foundational capability that enables deployment from rooftops, ship decks, forest clearings, or urban streets.

Fixed-wings

Once airborne, Aera transitions from vertical flight into fixed-wing mode, gliding on its wings like a plane. This is what gives it range. Multicopters burn energy fighting gravity. Fixed-wing drones use lift, which is why Aera can cover 100km on a single charge while a quadcopter would cover 7km.

Remote operations

Remote operations

Avy drones are controlled from a dedicated operations centre, not from a field location. Pilots monitor live footage, manage flight paths and communicate with the aircraft from a secure indoor environment, regardless of where the drone is flying.

Frequently asked questions.

What is the difference between VTOL and fixed-wing drones?

Most drones are one or the other. VTOL drones like quadcopters take off vertically but are inefficient over distance. Fixed-wing drones are efficient but need a runway. The Avy Aera combines both: it takes off and lands vertically, then transitions to fixed-wing flight for the journey. You get the deployment flexibility of a quadcopter with the range and efficiency of a plane.

How far can a BVLOS drone fly?

The Avy Aera flies up to 100km on a single charge at a cruise speed of 100km/h. With box-to-box docking, landing at a remote dock rather than returning to base, effective range can be doubled or extended further across a network of docking stations.

Do drone networks need pilots on site?

No. Avy's docking stations handle launch, landing and recharging automatically. Pilots operate remotely from a central operations centre, monitoring live footage and managing flight paths from kilometres away. No one needs to be present at the launch location.

What is a drone docking station?

A docking station is a permanent base for the drone. It handles automatic launch, landing and recharging without any human intervention on site. It's what makes a drone network truly autonomous. Rather than being deployed manually for each mission, the drone is always ready, charged and waiting for its next task.

How is a drone network different from a single drone?

A single drone covers one area at a time and needs to return to base to recharge. A drone network connects multiple aircraft and docking stations through shared software and a central operations centre. Each dock acts as a node, enabling coverage across vast areas simultaneously, making city-scale or port-scale operations possible.

Can Avy drones fly in bad weather

Yes. Aera is built for operational conditions. It handles rain, winds of 30+ knots, extreme cold and heat. It's designed to be deployable when it matters most, not just in ideal conditions.
