No need to go to risk to film the flank of an erupting volcano with this drone, it will melt under the heat. However, given its tariff positioning, it is easy to understand what tasks it is dedicated to. Thus, the drone is built on a hard plastic framework, the fundamental base of which is the central block, which embeds the functional circuits and the camera.

Above this control center, four quadrilaterals are grafted, the ends of which carry, on the one hand, the notches for fixing to the central block and, on the other hand, the rotors and blades of the four helices of which the drone is made. Finally, each pair of propellers (right and left) is delimited by a rigid harness, in order to avoid any accident related to the rotation of the said propellers.

Various sensors are also included, including a 3-axis gyroscope, a barometer and a 3-axis accelerometer with accuracy of plus or minus 50 meters. All this tackle allows in a record time the drone to make turns at 90 ° and 180 ° and make loopings easily.
