Modovolo Lift: A New Approach to Drones with Modular Design and Extended Flight Time
- Modovolo is breaking the mold with its Modovolo Lift. The modular, bicycle wheel-inspired drone could offer both extended flight times and affordability. The design reflects Modovolo’s commitment to rethinking what drones can do—and how far they can go.
- Weighing only 2.5 pounds empty and 7.6 pounds with batteries, the Lift Quad configuration is around 50% lighter than a DJI Matrice 300.
- Modovolo drew on the wheel’s lightweight and rugged design. “The bicycle wheel design is an underappreciated technological marvel. It’s super light, strong, and rugged.
- Modovolo was able to reduce the Lift’s weight dramatically, achieving up to two hours of flight time on a single charge.
- The modular design of Modovolo Lift offers limitless configurations and eventually will become even more configurable for specific missions.
- Modovolo aims to make the Modovolo Lift accessible to a broad range of industries by keeping costs low through a very simple design.
- The drone can be utilized in various fields, including Defense, Agriculture, and Construction.
- Currently, Modovolo is looking for test pilots with experience flying Ardupilot and larger commercial drones to help refine the Lift.
- Modovolo is also designing a new game-controller-inspired, NDAA-compliant handset that’s modular and affordable.
- Modovolo’s approach to drone design could reshape expectations around flight time, cost, and functionality in the commercial drone sector.
