ELIOS 2 system description
The Flyability ELIOS 2 was developed explicitly as a flying platform capable of entering confined and
cluttered environments.
Figure 2.1: System overview
The operator will enjoy full control of Elios through the Ground Control System (GCS). A tablet allows the
operator to monitor a live video feed transmitted by ELIOS 2. The Flyability Inspector post-mission analysis
software provides a simple solution to visualize the recorded video, the thermal video, and the aircraft
telemetry.
