Thank you very much for choosing the Intel Falcon 8+ UAS!
The Intel Falcon 8+ UAV is the first choice multicopter for the most challenging
professional UAV inspections and surveying operations. Small and portable with a
maximum take-off weight of only 2.8 kg, but with a payload weight of 0.8 kg, the Intel
Falcon 8+ UAV can carry professional cameras like the Sony Alpha 7R, offering the full
quality of an airborne image studio. The in-house developed AscTec Trinity Control Unit
- the world's first triple redundant, fully adaptive control unit for multi-rotor aircrafts -
makes the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV the most advanced and reliable unmanned aerial
vehicle. Thanks to the modular concept, you can spontaneously exchange the payload
at any time, and get the very best out of each project by using the most suitable
camera.
