SiFly, a Silicon Valley-based startup, has introduced a new line of long-range electric drones designed to expand industrial capabilities. The company’s flagship Q12 platform delivers more than two hours of continuous hover and up to three hours in forward flight, enabling a 90-mile operational range while carrying payloads of up to 10 lbs. According to the company, this can lead to new possibilities for Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) missions that were previously unattainable. SiFly plans to begin deliveries of the Q12 in the fourth quarter of 2025.
<p>SiFly also unveiled the Q250, a heavy-lift drone capable of transporting 200-lbs payloads with a 100-minute endurance. This capability allows the Q250 to serve as a direct replacement for expensive helicopter operations in fire suppression, commercial and military cargo transport, and agricultural spraying.</p> <p>SiFly is currently demonstrating its technology for public and private sector organizations across the United States and plans to announce multiple strategic industry partnerships in the coming months. </p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/sifly-launches-long-range-electric-drones/">SiFly launches long-range electric drones </a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
