General Information

Roleisr|mapping|multi-role

The Alta X by Freefly Systems is a U.S.-made heavy-lift quadcopter drone designed for professional cinema, industrial, and surveying applications, featuring a modular quick-release payload system and folding design for rapid deployment. Key capabilities include a maximum takeoff weight of 34.9 kg, 15.9 kg payload capacity, up to 50 minutes endurance without payload, and support for LiDAR, mapping cameras, and cinema gear. In military/defense use cases, its Blue UAS certification, NDAA compliance, and BVLOS capabilities make it suitable for ISR, mapping, and tactical payload delivery. The key differentiator is its exceptional thrust-to-weight ratio (3.1:1), large efficient folding propellers, and seamless expandability for demanding operations.[1][2][4][5]
