APEX invest in industry leading Falcon 8 UAV

The AscTec Falcon 8 is the most advanced multicopter for professional aerial imaging. The inertial guidance system relies on a well-proven and tested multirotor flight system for aerial imaging, industrial inspection, surveying, mapping and monitoring.

This octocopter offers unprecedented precision and safety with the reliable AscTec High-Performance GPS and the new control unit AscTec Trinity. It weighs in at a mere, world-class 2.3 kilograms of takeoff weight and works with maximum efficiency in the air – on- & offshore, even in challenging conditions.

The Falcon 8 can operate in heavy winds and includes built-in failsafe’s such as three autopilots, redundant electronics, redundant propulsion system and redundant radio links and is resistant to magnetic interference and temperature variations. 

Maximum safety is guaranteed by the up to 3 times redundant flight control electronics and flight components.
