Elios 3
Confined Space Inspection Drone
Non-man-entry inspection and mapping for complex, hazardous environments.
We’re transforming asset inspections with cutting-edge drone technology. The Elios 3, developed by Flyability, is the first indoor drone designed specifically for confined space entry, mapping, and surveying. We’ve invested in this advanced technology to provide safer, faster, and more accurate inspections. Equipped with 4K cameras and 3D LiDAR, the drone captures detailed visuals and precise measurements—eliminating the need for human entry while improving safety, speed, and accuracy.
The Elios 3 is built to inspect pipelines, tanks, domes, voids and confined spaces (and more) – delivering high-definition imagery and survey-grade 3D mapping. Prioritising safety, data quality and operational efficiency, it supports:
- No-man-entry inspections – eliminates risk in confined or hazardous environments
- 4K camera and 3D LiDAR – captures high-resolution visuals and builds dense point-cloud models
- Real-time 3D mapping – provides instant locational awareness via the Cockpit App
- Pipeline reach up to 1km – ideal for long-distance internal inspections
- Low-light performance – optimised sensors for dark or obstructed environments
- LiDAR point cloud output for detailed surface and asset mapping
- Faro software integration-enables survey-grade 3D model generation
Use cases
- Inspecting pipelines, stormwater pipes, culverts, tanks, and tunnels with high-definition visuals and no human entry
- Capturing 3D models of inaccessible areas for remediation or maintenance planning
- Operating in hazardous or low-light environments with advanced sensors
- Providing asset owners with accurate, actionable data for repair and compliance decisions
- Reducing downtime, cost, and risk during industrial inspections
