FEATURES

A smarter and safer way to map.

3D, RGB, multispectral and thermal cameras

eBee X is compatible with a wide range of interchangeable photogrammetry cameras that capture reliable aerial imagery – from 3D models to orthomosaics – to suit every mapping job.

1.5 cm / 0.6 in absolute accuracy

With the on-demand RTK / PPK capabilities of survey drone eBee X, you can gather data without ground control points (GCPs) while maintaining a GSD down to 1.5 cm / 0.6 in.

1.6 kg / 3.6 lbs takeoff weight

Operate safely within more regulatory frameworks thanks to the eBee X’s light weight, which extends your operational possibilities – BVLOS and flights over people – and range. eBee X has the best ratio energy / MTOW compared to heavier VTOLs.

90 min. flight time

Efficiently map up to 500 ha / 1,235 ac while flying at 120 m / 400 ft. eBee X flight time of up to 90 min* makes it the perfect drone for covering large areas.

RTK / PPK available

RTK and PPK allow you to ensure more reliability with the accuracy obtained, without ground control points. The eBee X professional drone is compatible with the industry’s leading base stations.

Shock absorbent

The eBee X is designed for continuous belly landings without damaging the drone.
Our R&D engineers have created a shock absorbent construction UAS with an underbelly made of reinforced polypropylene woven mesh, able to operate in harsh terrain.

Remote ID, C2 and C6

We’ve prepared for U.S. and European drone regulations with eBee X, featuring built-in FAA-approved Remote ID and EU C2 and C6 labeling.

Modular design

eBee X’s modular design reduces downtime, delays, repairs and maintenance costs. Swap out accessories or make in-field repairs with ease.

Backpack included

Safely store and transport everything you need to operate your eBee X in the included backpack. The ergonomic drone backpack comes with a rain cover and a laptop pocket. It weighs 4.6 kg / 10 lbs empty and 10 kg / 22 lbs when fully loaded.

WHY THE EBEE X?

Regulatory Advantages

eBee X operators benefit from regulation advantages not available to heavier drones above 2 kg / 4.4 lbs.

BVLOS approved – granted Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations permission in Brazil and European C6 marking, for BVLOS within the STS-02 Standard Scenario.

Flights Over People – approved to run Operations Over People (OOP) in Canada and United States, and Remote ID approved by the FAA.

SORA process – first drone to receive M2 Mitigation Design Verification for SORA process from EASA, essential for BVLOS and OOP authorization in the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand.

Safety as a Priority

Successful impact tests to demonstrate operational safety around people.

Free from hard-front plastic parts.

Flight planning software integrates fail-safe protocols and live air traffic.

Ease, Quality and Efficiency of Data Collection

The eBee X and its eMotion flight planning software are beginner-friendly, yet packed with advanced features to tackle the toughest jobs. Definitely a smarter way to map.

Easy hand-launch
Designed to restart the mission as soon as the drone lands and to be simply hand-launched.

3 minutes to deploy
Operated by one user and easily transported in a backpack with all your gear in one spot.

Automated flight
Automated flight and landing with eMotion mission planning software, which is included.

Proven Reliability

eBee fixed-wing drones are proven for their unmatched operational safety and ability to deliver high-quality data, from simple to complex missions. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) drone registration data from 2016 to 2021 confirms that the eBee is the most used fixed-wing drone in the United States.

500,000+ Flight hours

1,000,000+ Successful Flights

Preflight checks – Automated quick self-diagnosis before every flight

12 years Industry experience

Block: content_panel

Increase ROI - Fly multiple eBees simultaneously

eMotion drone flight management software supports up to four eBees mapping simultaneously from the same ground station. Multi-drone flights increase the efficiency of time-sensitive missions, advanced operations, quick situation assessment, data integrity preservation and daily business activities.
