Since its establishment in 2015, FlyingBasket has been at the forefront of collaboration with National and European regulators, actively shaping and adhering to the highest safety standards in current European regulations.

With a solid seven-year background in drone design, manufacturing, and operations, FlyingBasket has played a significant role in the evolution of the drone industry. The FB3 is the result of extensive research, development with industrial stakeholders, and practical testing.

The FB3 stands as evidence of FlyingBasket's dedication to excellence in which they have poured their collective knowledge and expertise into an innovative platform, aiming to deliver the best to drone operators.

The journey with the FB3 drone has been marked by extensive testing and collaboration with customers across various industries, enabling them to tailor its capabilities to meet specific and relevant needs. At FlyingBasket, they have always provided a Drone-as-a-Service solution, constantly evolving their equipment and gaining valuable insights into diverse applications.

The FB3's outstanding heavy cargo transport and lifting capability has been rigorously demonstrated in a wide range of environments, including forests, wind parks, and urban settings.
