Company Overview

senseFly (now a brand of AgEagle Aerial Systems) revolutionized the commercial surveying industry by inventing the eBee, a highly autonomous, ultra-lightweight fixed-wing drone. Unlike quadcopters that waste battery hovering, senseFly drones fly like airplanes, allowing them to map thousands of acres of agricultural land, mines, and construction sites in a single continuous flight.

Core Technologies

✈️

Fixed-Wing Efficiency

By utilizing aerodynamic lift rather than pure rotor thrust, senseFly drones achieve massive flight times (up to 90 minutes), covering vast tracts of land that quadcopters simply cannot reach.

🪶

Ultra-Lightweight EPP Foam

The airframes are constructed from Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) foam. This makes them incredibly light (under 1.6kg), highly durable in crashes, and extremely safe for flying over populated areas.

🤖

eMotion Autonomous Software

The industry’s most advanced fixed-wing flight planning software. The operator simply defines a 3D polygon on a map, and the drone autonomously calculates the flight path, overlap, and altitude.

Featured Solutions

eBee X

The flagship fixed-wing mapping drone. Capable of RTK/PPK precision down to 1.5 cm without ground control points, supporting swappable photogrammetry and thermal payloads.

eBee Ag

A specialized agricultural mapping drone equipped with a multispectral camera (Duet M) to instantly assess crop health, water stress, and optimize fertilizer application.

eBee TAC

A highly secure, NDAA-compliant tactical mapping drone designed specifically for defense operations, providing rapid, radio-silent terrain mapping for ground troops.
