ELIOS System description
The Flyability ELIOS was specifically developed as a flying platform capable of entering confined and
cluttered environments.
Figure 3.1: System overview
As the operator, you will enjoy a full control of Elios through the Ground Control System (GCS). A tablet allows
the operator to monitor a live video feed transmitted by Elios. The Flyability Inspector post-mission analysis
software provides a simple solution to visualize the recorded full HD optical video and the thermal video.

Cage
Elios is surrounded by a protective cage. The cage is there to prevent collisions between the propellers
and humans or other obstacles.
Decoupling System
The decoupling system allows the cage to rotate freely around the drone. It is composed of a ring and
a beam, giving it 3 degrees of rotation.
