Key result: First long–range authorization in Spain to fly over power lines.
Next milestone: First European Beyond Radio Line Of Sight flights over power lines.
Conventional drones are legally limited to fly on the Visual Line Of Sight of the pilot (VLOS) with a maximum range of 500 m. from the pilot. Consequently, manned helicopters continue to be used when long ranges are required: linear infrastructure inspection and digitization and emergency support.
In FuVeX we are implementing long–range industrial drones with more than 80 times more range than conventional drones.
Lots of drones in the marketplace but only a few can fly long–range legally complying with the EU drone framework*.
We are deeply grateful to the entities and institutions for their support in our vision to lead the current unmanned aviation revolution
Fly a drone Beyond the Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) of the pilot requires a complex authorization process by national Civil Aviation Authorities. Thanks to our technology and our regulatory expertise we have achieved the first authorization in Spain to perform Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (long–range) flights over power lines.
Our two model aircrafts MARVIN-5 and MARVIN-24 have ranges up to 70 to 300 km. respectively. Their patented technology provides them with more range and capability to fly with higher winds than competitors.
Vodafone is supplying the mobile technology needed for these new drone inspections of Naturgy’s power grids After partnering with the start-up FuVeX, the companies have won the first indefinite authorisation
