A Fresh Perspective on UAV Excellence
​
At HovAero UAV, we’re committed to delivering reliable and cost-effective UAV solutions that meet the growing demands of modern industries. Our Lift model combines affordability, robustness, and cutting-edge performance, offering a versatile workhorse for a variety of commercial applications.
Compact and Efficient Design
With a wingspan of 2.18m and an all-up weight (AUW) of less than 8kg, the HovAero Lift strikes the perfect balance between size and capability. Its lightweight structure makes it easily transportable and manageable, whether by a single operator or a small team. Simple assembly and user-friendly operation make it the ideal tool for fast deployment, even in challenging environments.
Rapid Deployment for Critical Missions
The Lift is engineered for speed, going from box to airborne in under five minutes. This rapid deployability ensures that you can meet time-sensitive objectives, like site surveillance or emergency response, with ease. While most VTOL UAVs lag behind multirotor drones in quick field deployment, the Lift sets itself apart by delivering on-demand readiness for critical operations.
Tough, Reliable, and Affordable
Built with a reinforced EPO construction and carbon fiber integration, the Lift is designed to withstand the most demanding conditions. The flexible EPO frame absorbs minor impacts, while carbon reinforcement adds rigidity and durability. Wrapped in a vinyl covering, the Lift is not only rugged but also easy to maintain and repair in the field. With simple-to-swap parts, it’s an affordable and reliable solution for extended missions in challenging environments.
Long-Lasting Performance with Exceptional Payload Capacity
Boasting an impressive endurance of up to 3 hours, the HovAero Lift offers a practical real-world flight time of 2.5 hours with payloads and battery reserves intact. Whether it’s extended surveillance or covering a larger area for mapping, the Lift delivers consistent performance. With a maximum payload of 1kg and customizable options for both surveillance and mapping cameras, the Lift adapts seamlessly to a wide range of mission requirements. Featuring interchangeable nose options, it can be quickly reconfigured for specific tasks, ensuring maximum operational flexibility.
Customised Payload Options
The Lift has a maximum payload capacity of <1kg, and can be customised for almost any mission. The most common payload options are day/night camera for surveilance, with object tracking and zoom features. The other popular payload option is a RGB camera used for mapping applications. The Lift even offers 2 different nose options that can be hot-swapped between surveillance or mapping if this is a need.
