FlyingBasket FB3
The heavy-lift cargo drone for offshore wind, industry and construction. We deliver the FB3 as a complete solution: hardware, implementation and guidance towards compliant operations.
Drone Lift as a turn-key partner
Buying an FB3 is one thing; deploying it safely and effectively in real operations is another. That is why we deliver a complete implementation: from hardware to procedures and the right skills within your team.
FB3 delivery & configuration
The drone and payload solution (sling/hook, winch or your own payload) are tailored to your use case. Includes basic setup, checks and handover.
Operations manual & procedures
We help you create a clear operational package: workflows, roles, emergency procedures and practical checklists so your organisation can operate consistently.
Specific (SORA) for your organisation
Heavy-lift operations almost always fall outside the Open category. We guide you towards a compliant setup within the Specific category, aligned with your scenario.
Pilots licensed & trained
We ensure pilots have the right foundation (such as STS where applicable) and provide FB3-specific training for safe cargo operations.
Service, maintenance & support
Preventive maintenance, practical support and advice around deployment. This keeps your operation reliable and predictable.
Go-live support
During the first flights we work alongside your team: briefing, execution, debrief and fine-tuning the workflow. Goal: independent, safe and efficient operations.

Safety & deployability of the FB3
Hook payloads: from basket to winch
The FB3 supports a hook/sling setup, allowing you to match the payload to the operation: cargo slings, tooling, parts, or an optional winch for controlled lifting and placement.
Flight Termination System (FTS)
An FTS is designed to end the UAV flight in a controlled manner within the Ground Risk Buffer, providing additional control in critical scenarios.
ADS‑B receiver
Real-time information about nearby air traffic helps prevent airspace conflicts and increases situational awareness during cargo operations.
Propulsion redundancy
Redundancy in the propulsion system helps continue operations during certain component failures (such as motor/ESC/battery issues), keeping safety and control central.
Direct Remote ID
Direct Remote ID supports transparency within aviation and safety frameworks, which is important for professional field operations.
Swappable batteries & fast turnaround
With 4 swappable Li‑ion batteries and a charge time of around 1 hour, you can keep planning tight and minimise downtime.
Where the FB3 makes the difference
Heavy-lift cargo means less hassle with lifting equipment, faster turnaround on site, and safer work at height or over water. Below are the most common applications we see in the market.
Deliver parts, tooling and consumables to turbine/platform with less logistics complexity and short delivery turnaround.
Bring 5G masts, antennas and other components to height quickly and safely, without cranes or lifts.
Fast supply of parts and tools across industrial sites and assets. Ideal when you want to reduce downtime and work safely.
Accessories (optional)
These accessories can be included as options depending on the intended deployment.
For controlled payload release when the situation requires it.
Useful for transport, setup and organised storage of the drone and equipment on site.
For safe attachment and handling of different payload shapes during cargo operations.
