-
Endurance and range breakthroughs: The Q12 platform delivers up to 2 hours of hover and 3 hours of forward flight, with a 90-mile operational radius and 10-pound payload capacity—far beyond what most multirotor drones can achieve.
-
Aircraft-grade value at drone economics: Jones explains how SiFly achieves these results through patented rotor design, advanced battery systems, and aerodynamic engineering—all at a price point competitive with other commercial drones.
-
The shift from drone docks to drone fleets: SiFly envisions a “DFR 3.0” future, where public safety agencies fly fleets of Q12s in persistent airborne shifts—without the need for fixed docking stations.
Why It Matters
Public safety missions require endurance, responsiveness, and cost efficiency. SiFly’s technology delivers heavier payloads, quieter operation, autonomous capabilities, and reduced infrastructure needs—all while enabling Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
